Article Synopsis
- Malaria remains a significant health issue in Côte d'Ivoire, despite the widespread use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) aimed at prevention.
- The study utilized a cross-sectional design to assess LLIN effectiveness by measuring human exposure to mosquito bites in urban Bouaké through antibody responses in participants of different ages.
- Results showed that individuals consistently using LLINs had lower IgG response levels to a specific salivary peptide, indicating reduced exposure, and highlighted the need for tailored interventions to enhance LLIN usage and effectiveness based on various demographic factors.
Background: In some African cities, urban malaria is a threat to the health and welfare of city dwellers. To improve the control of the disease, it is critical to identify neighbourhoods where the risk of malaria transmission is the highest. This study aims to evaluate the heterogeneity of malaria transmission risk in one city (Bouaké) in a West African country (Côte d'Ivoire) that presents several levels of urbanization.

- Urban malaria poses a significant health risk in African cities, and this study examined the level of exposure to mosquito bites using a specific salivary biomarker (gSG6-P1).
- Two cross-sectional studies conducted in Bouaké city, during both rainy and dry seasons, analyzed blood samples from children aged 6 months to 14 years to measure their immune response to the biomarker.
- The findings revealed that antibody levels were higher in the rainy season, and children in urban areas experienced exposure to malaria risks similar to those in rural areas, indicating the need for further monitoring and intervention in urban settings.
Background: Sleeping under a net, particularly a long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN), is associated with reduced malaria morbidity and mortality, but requires high coverage and adherence. In this study, parasitologically confirmed Plasmodium falciparum infection and a clinical indicator (i.e.

However, there are challenges to achieve high coverage, such as distribution sustainability, and coverage keep-up. This study assessed the effect of LLINs coverage and contextual factors on entomological indicators of malaria in rural Côte d'Ivoire.

The aim of this study was to determine factors that influence the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in three rural communities of Côte d'Ivoire, two of which benefited from recent interventions.
Methods: The study was carried out in 957 households in three villages (Bozi, N'Dakonankro and Yoho) located in central Côte d'Ivoire.
