DOI: 10.1002/mma.4629
Abstract: Controversial results concerning the effectiveness of bed net in reducing dengue fever transmission make further research necessary in this direction. At this aim, we consider a mathematical model of dengue transmission where the use by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17513758.2016.1192228
Abstract: ABSTRACT We propose and study a mathematical model for malaria-HIV co-infection transmission and control, in which malaria treatment and insecticide-treated nets are incorporated. The existence of a backward bifurcation is established analytically, and the occurrence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12889-018-5372-2
Abstract: BackgroundThe use of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) is crucial to the prevention, control, and elimination of malaria. Using household surveys conducted in 2014–2015 by the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative project in Madagascar, Mali, and Nigeria,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266420
Abstract: Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets are an effective tool in reducing malaria transmission. However, with increasing insecticide resistance little is known about how physiologically resistant malaria vectors behave around a human-occupied bed net, despite their importance… read more here.
