Iinethi ezinyangwa ngezibulali-zinambuzane (ii-ITN) bezisoloko zibalulekile ekuthinteleni imalariya kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini edlulileyo, kwaye ukusetyenziswa kwazo ngokubanzi kudlale indima ebalulekileyo ekuthinteleni esi sifo nasekusindiseni ubomi. Ukusukela ngo-2000, imizamo yehlabathi yokulawula imalariya, kuquka namaphulo e-ITN, ithintele iimeko ezingaphezu kweebhiliyoni ezi-2 zemalariya kunye nokufa okuphantse kube zizigidi ezili-13.
Nangona kukho inkqubela ethile, iingcongconi ezisasaza imalariya kwiindawo ezininzi ziye zakwazi ukumelana nezifo.izibulali-zinambuzaneezisetyenziswa kakhulu kwiinethi zokulala eziphathwa ngama-insecticide (ITNs), ingakumbi ii-pyrethroids. Oku kuye kunciphisa ukusebenza kakuhle kwezi zinambuzane kwaye kwanciphisa inkqubela phambili ekuthinteleni i-malaria. Olu loyiko lukhulayo luye lwabangela abaphandi ukuba bakhawulezise uphuhliso lweenethi ezintsha zokulala ezibonelela ngokhuseleko oluhlala ixesha elide kwi-malaria.
Ngowama-2018, i-UNITAID kunye ne-Global Fund baqalise iprojekthi ye-New Nets, ekhokelwa yi-Coalition for Innovative Malaria Vector Control, ngentsebenziswano esondeleyo neenkqubo zesizwe ze-malaria kunye namanye amaqabane, kuquka i-US President's Malaria Initiative, i-Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation kunye ne-MedAccess. Le projekthi ixhasa ukuveliswa kobungqina kunye neeprojekthi zovavanyo zokukhawulezisa utshintsho oluya kwiinethi zomngxunya eziphathwa ngezinambuzane ezimbini kumazantsi e-Sahara e-Afrika ukuze kujongwane nokuxhathisa i-pyrethroid.
Ezi nethiwekhi zaqala ukuthunyelwa eBurkina Faso ngo-2019, zaza emva koko zathunyelwa eBenin, eMozambique, eRwanda nakwiRiphabliki eManyeneyo yaseTanzania ukuze kuvavanywe ukusebenza kwazo kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo.
Ekupheleni kuka-2022, iprojekthi yeNew Mosquito Nets, ngokubambisana neGlobal Fund kunye ne-US President's Malaria Initiative, yayisele ifake ii-mother nets ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-56 kumazwe ali-17 kumazantsi eSahara eAfrika apho kuye kwabhalwa khona ukuba akukho zinambuzane zisetyenziswayo.
Uvavanyo lweklinikhi kunye nezifundo zovavanyo zibonise ukuba iinethi ezinyangwa ngezibulala-zinambuzane ezisebenza kabini zisebenza ngcono ngama-20-50% ekulawuleni imalariya kuneenethi eziqhelekileyo ezinee-pyrethroids kuphela. Ngaphezu koko, uvavanyo lweklinikhi kwiRiphabliki eManyeneyo yaseTanzania naseBenin lubonise ukuba iinethi ezinee-pyrethroids kunye ne-chlorfenapyr zinciphisa kakhulu ukwanda kwemalariya kubantwana abaneminyaka eyi-6 ukuya kweyi-10 ubudala.
Ukuqinisa ukubekwa esweni, ukubekwa esweni kunye nolawulo lwezoyikiso zebhayoloji ezifana nokuchasana nezinambuzane, iintlobo zezilwanyana ezihlaselayo kunye notshintsho kwindlela yokuziphatha kwezilwanyana ezithwala izinambuzane kubalulekile ekuthinteleni nasekupheliseni ukudluliselwa kwemalariya ekugqibeleni. Kubaluleke ngokulinganayo ukutyala imali kwizixhobo ezintsha zokujongana nale mingeni ivelayo.
Ukwandisa nokubeka esweni iinethi zeengcongconi, imijovo kunye nezinye iindlela ezintsha zobuchwepheshe kufuna utyalo-mali oluqhubekayo kwiinkqubo zokulawula nokuphelisa imalariya, kuquka ukuqinisekisa ukuhlaziywa kwakhona kweGlobal Fund kunye neGavi, iVaccine Alliance.
Ukongeza kwiinethi ezintsha zokulala, abaphandi baphuhlisa uluhlu lwezixhobo ezintsha zokulawula iivektha, ezifana nezixothi zezinambuzane, izibambo zasekhaya ezibulalayo (iityhubhu zekhethini), kunye neengcongconi eziguqulwe ngokwezakhi zofuzo.
