在乌干达农村进行的一次大规模试验发现,经过杀虫剂处理的婴儿包装在六个月内使婴儿的疟疾病例减少了65%,在蚊帐失效时提供日间保护。 A large trial in rural Uganda found that insecticide-treated baby wraps reduced malaria cases in infants by 65% over six months, offering daytime protection when bed nets are ineffective. 该研究涉及400名6至18个月大的婴儿,显示有34个病例发生在苯丙菊酯组,94个病例发生在控制组,只有轻微副作用报告。 The study, involving 400 babies aged 6 to 18 months, showed 34 cases in the permethrin group versus 94 in the control group, with only mild side effects reported. 研究人员说,低成本、文化上适当的干预措施可以在日常门诊期间分发,填补保护幼儿方面的一个重大空白,特别是因为现有工具的进展停滞不前。 Researchers say the low-cost, culturally appropriate intervention could be distributed during routine clinic visits, filling a critical gap in protecting young children, especially as progress with existing tools has stalled.
