EXTENDED: Baby Wraps and Malaria – A New Tool to Protect Young Children (with Ross Boyce)
<p dir="ltr">In sub-Saharan Africa, mothers often carry their babies on their backs in colorful cotton wraps called lesu. Could treating these wraps with insecticide help prevent malaria? Dr. Ross Boyce discusses a groundbreaking study in Uganda showing that permethrin-treated wraps significantly reduce malaria in infants – and further, what this could mean for protecting the youngest and most vulnerable children from this often fatal disease.</p> <p> </p>

Insecticide-Treated Baby Wraps Cut Malaria Cases by Two-Thirds in Uganda
<p dir="ltr"><strong>A new study in rural western Uganda finds that treating baby-carrying cloths, or lesu, with an insecticide with modest repellent effect significantly reduces malaria infections in young children.</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Transcript</p> <p dir="ltr">In many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, mothers carry their young children on their backs in colorful cotton wraps called lesu. Could treating these cloths with insecticide reduce malaria transmission?</p> <p dir="ltr">A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine explored this question in rural western Uganda, where malaria is transmitted year-round. Researchers enrolled 400 mothers with children aged six to 18 months.</p> <p dir="ltr">Using a blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial design, half received lesu treated with permethrin, a commonly-used insecticide. The other half received untreated cloths. All participants also received insecticide-treated bed nets.</p> <p dir="ltr">Every two weeks for 24 weeks, the mothers and children visited local health centers to check for fever and undergo malaria testing. The results were striking: children carried in permethrin-treated lesu represented 66% fewer malaria cases – 0.73 cases per 100 people compared with 2.13 in the control group.</p> <p dir="ltr">The findings suggest that insecticide-treated lesu – much like treated bed nets – could offer an effective new tool particuarly against outdoor biting for a highly vulnerable population - children under 5 years of age - in sub-Saharan Africa.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-b74f652b-7fff-6346-04ec-30d74b87be26"></strong>Source</p> <p><a href= "https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2501628">Permethrin-Treated Baby Wraps for the Prevention of Malaria</a> [NEJM]</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>About The Podcast</strong></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Johns Hopkins Malaria Minute podcast is produced by the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute to highlight impactful malaria research and to share it with the global community.</span></p>
