Background: In Benin, malaria vector control mostly relies on long-lasting, insecticidal-treated bed nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) operations. From 2011 to 2016, an IRS programme has been implemented in Atacora region. However, in 2 [...]
The effects of indoor residual spraying (IRS) on malaria transmission have been documented. However, the impact on morbidity has not always been highlighted. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of IRS on malaria incidence, parasitemia a [...]
Background : Scale-up of insecticide-based interventions has averted more than 500 million malaria cases since 2000. Increasing insecticide resistance could herald a rebound in disease and mortality. We aimed to investigate whether insecticide resist [...]
Studies on the health benefits of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and susceptibility to malaria have shown contradictory results. These studies often failed to account for dose response effects. The deuterium dilution technique was used to evaluate the [...]
La présente étude vise à contribuer au diagnostic étiologique des anémies en déterminant la prévalence des nématodes intestinales et parmi elles, celle des parasitoses sanguicoles. Une étude prospective est réalisée sur un échantillon non probabilis [...]

Introduction: serological tests for toxoplasmosis in pregnant women are not performed on a systematic basis in rural areas in Benin where people often live an unhealthy lifestyle and that represents a favorable factor for disease onset. Our study [...]

Les antipaludiques contrefaits sont responsables de décès et de résistance des souches plasmo-diales. L’arthémeter-luméfantrine et la sulfadoxine-pyriméthamine sont deux molécules antipaludiques les utilisés au Bénin respectivement pour le traitement [...]

Background: Despite widespread parasite resistance to sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) its use for intermittent preventative treatment during pregnancy remains the policy in Benin and throughout most of sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: In a prospective [...]

Introduction : Les parasitoses intestinales demeurent un problème de santé publique en Afrique en général et au Bénin en particulier, surtout chez les enfants d’âge scolaire. Afin de mieux orienter les stratégies de prévention, une étude a été initié [...]
Aim: In Benin, artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has been recommended as the first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria since 2004. The emergence in Southeast Asia of parasites that are resistant to artemisinins po [...]
