Investigating public health impact spread

项目摘要

It is estimated that 68% of the 663 million cases of malaria that have been prevented since the year 2000 are attributable to the use of long-lasting insecticide treated bednets. In recent years, there has been a worrying increase in mosquito resistance to pyrethroid insecticides; the only insecticide currently available for use on bednets. It is currently unknown whether the extended geographic range and magnitude of resistance is due to the mass distribution of bednets or whether it has evolved due to other selection pressures, such as insecticide use in agriculture. The public health impact of resistance is also unclear, though it is feared its spread puts malaria control in jeopardy as all newly-developed bednets likely to be used in the next decade will contain pyrethroids.Using historical records of the spread of pyrethroid resistant mosquitoes and epidemiological data on malaria prevalence, the relationship between malaria prevalence, bednet use and the level of insecticide resistance will be statistically examined. This data will then be further analysed through the use of mathematical models of disease transmission dynamics to investigate whether the observed increase in the spread of insecticide resistant mosquitoes can explain temporal trends in malaria and the effectiveness of mosquito control programmes.

据估计，自2000年以来预防的6.63亿例疟疾病例中，有68%可归因于使用长效驱虫蚊帐。近年来，蚊子对拟除虫菊酯杀虫剂的抗药性增加，令人担忧;拟除虫菊酯杀虫剂是目前唯一可用于蚊帐的杀虫剂。目前尚不清楚抗药性的地理范围和程度的扩大是由于蚊帐的大规模分布，还是由于其他选择压力，如农业中使用杀虫剂而演变而来。抗药性对公共卫生的影响也不清楚，但人们担心它的传播会危及疟疾控制，因为未来十年可能使用的所有新开发的蚊帐都将含有拟除虫菊酯，利用对拟除虫菊酯有抗药性的蚊子传播的历史记录和疟疾流行病学数据，将对疟疾流行、蚊帐使用和杀虫剂抗药性水平之间的关系进行统计研究。然后将通过使用疾病传播动力学数学模型进一步分析这些数据，以调查所观察到的抗药性蚊子传播的增加是否可以解释疟疾的时间趋势和蚊子控制方案的有效性。
