Background: Malaria had been a major problem for Sub Saharan Africa and Ethiopia for long. Recognizing the problem the Role back malaria initiative is aiming to decrease the disease burden and working since 1998. Due to mass killing effect of ITN on vector it prevent the community and may also extend to non-user. Considering this measures ITNs are being distributed widely. But many field issues pertaining to their use are not answered in the Ethiopian situation. The objective of the study: Is to determine factors affecting the utilization of ITN in under five children and pregnant women in Shashogo Woreda, where the ets were distributed for free. Methods and materials: A cross sectional study was conducted by using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The source populations were all households in Urban and Rural areas of Shashogo Woreda. Study subjects were pregnant women and under-five child with in selected household. The data collectors were interview the head of household or their spouse in the absence of head by using structured questionnaire and were fill the check list by inspecting the bed net. First a cross sectional survey which includes interviewer administered

Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Recommended prevention strategies in the general population include indoor residual spraying and the use of insecticide-treated nets. However, current progress towards the adoption and implementation of these strategies has been slow and several countries lag behind the 2010 Roll Back Malaria Partnership target of 80% uptake. We undertook a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to examine the predictors of net use among the general population in malaria-endemic regions and explore the associations between bed net use and household and individual-level factors. We systematically collected published literature on factors affecting the use of insecticide-treated nets among the general population in malaria-endemic settings. We searched the Global Health Database, Medline, Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for studies published in English between January 1, 1990, and September 30, 2013, that examined the association between net use and any of the following factors like socioeconomic status, location of residence, knowledge of malaria transmission, education level, gender, age and the number of nets in a household. Adjusted effect estimates were analyzed using random-effects meta-analyses, with sub-group analyses to evaluate potential sources of variability between studies such as study populations, countries, season of data collection and exposure to mass media campaigns. We used funnel plots and Egger's linear regression to test for publication bias. Of 867 articles reviewed, 21 met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Knowledge of malaria, education level, number of nets in a household and gender were found to be significant predictors of net use in the general population. Household members who had some knowledge of malaria transmission/ITN (versus no knowledge) and households in possession of more nets (compared to those with fewer nets) were the most likely to use an ITN; the summary estimate of the associated OR was 1.47 (95%CI, 1.29 - 1.66) for the knowledge of malaria and 2.35 (95%CI, 1.80 - 3.07) for households with more vs. fewer ITNs. Men were significantly less likely to use an ITN than women (OR, 0.75; 95%CI, 0.69 - 0.82). Not surprisingly, educated individuals were 23% more likely to sleep under a net compared to those with no education (95%CI, 4% - 44%). Pooled summary estimates suggested little or no influence of factors such as socioeconomic status, age and location of residence. However, the effect of age on ITN use varied significantly by study location (p = 0.03); with older age groups significantly more likely to use nets than younger household members in countries such as Malawi and Nigeria. Findings from our analysis have significant policy implications particularly for countries reporting wide disparities between ITN ownership and use by households in possession of ITNs. Significant barriers to ownership like socioeconomic status and place of residence were not found to impact net use among households in possession of nets suggesting that factors affecting ITN ownership may differ from those influencing net use. Achievement of the MDG target of universal ITN uptake by 2015 relies on the successful implementation of policies that address barriers to both ITN access and utilization; strategies that solely focus on only one of those components are limited in their potential to reduce malaria burden.

Towards Malaria Elimination - A Leap Forward was started to mark the occasion for renewed commitment to end malaria transmission for good (the WHO's call for "Malaria Free World" by 2030). This book is dedicated for the benefit of researchers, scientists, program and policy managers, students and anyone interested in malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases with the goal of sharing recent information on success stories, innovative control approaches and challenges in different regions of the world. Some main issues that emerged included multidrug-resistant malaria and pandemic risk, vaccines, cross-border malaria, asymptomatic parasite reservoir, the threat of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi, insecticide resistance in Anopheles vectors and outdoor malaria transmission. This book is one little step forward to bring together in 17 chapters the experiences of malaria-expert researchers from five continents to present updated information on disease epidemiology and control at the national/regional level, highlighting the constraints, challenges, accomplishments and prospects of malaria elimination.

For more than 50 years, low-cost antimalarial drugs silently saved millions of lives and cured billions of debilitating infections. Today, however, these drugs no longer work against the deadliest form of malaria that exists throughout the world. Malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africaâ€"currently just over one million per yearâ€"are rising because of increased resistance to the old, inexpensive drugs. Although effective new drugs called "artemisinins" are available, they are unaffordable for the majority of the affected population, even at a cost of one dollar per course. Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.

Admittedly, the world and the nature of forced migration have changed a great deal over the last two decades. The relevance of data accumulated during that time period can now be called into question. The roundtable and the Program on Forced Migration at the Mailman School of Public Health of Columbia University have commissioned a series of epidemiological reviews on priority public health problems for forced migrants that will update the state of knowledge. Malaria Control During Mass Population Movements and Natural Disasters- the first in the series, provides a basic overview of the state of knowledge of epidemiology of malaria and public health interventions and practices for controlling the disease in situations involving forced migration and conflict.

The World Malaria Report 2015assesses global malaria disease trends and changes in the coverage and financing of malaria control programs between 2000 and 2015. It also summarizes progress towards international targets, and provides regional and country profiles that summarize trends in each WHO region and each country with malaria. The report is produced with the help of WHO regional and country offices, ministries of health in endemic countries, and a broad range of other partners. The data presented are assembled from the 96 countries and territories with ongoing malaria transmission, and a further five countries that have recently eliminated malaria. Most data are those reported for 2014 and 2015, although in some cases projections have been made into 2015, to assess progress towards targets for 2015.
