Revision as of 20:30, 9 November 2019
This is a timeline of bed net distribution, a strategy deployed widely to reduce the incidence of malaria in tropical countries.
Big picture
Period | Key developments |
---|---|
Ancient times < | Use of mosquito nets is documented in the Mediterranean world.[1] Evidence also indicates their use in Japan.[2] |
19th century | British colonists in India adopt sleeping under nets (likely inspired by the example of Punjabi fishermen).[3] |
1940s | Textiles and insecticides start to be combined, during World War II.[3] |
1970s–1980s | Contemporary with the decline of DDT-based indoor residual spraying, interest in insecticide-impregnated nets as a malaria control tool reemerges.[3][4] |
1990s | Insecticide treated nets (ITN) start to be used early in the decade.[5] By the mid-1990s, ITNs already become an important component of global and national malaria control policies.[6] |
2000s | Mosquito net distribution develops at a large scale. The number of ITNs delivered by manufacturers to malaria endemic countries in Sub-Saharan Africa increases from 6 million to 145 million between 2004 and 2010.[7] Between 2000 and 2011, the share of households owning at least one treated net in SSA is estimated to have risen from 3% to 50%.[8] |

1939–1945 | Antecedent | The Soviet army applies juniper oil to bednets to repel mosquitoes and sand flies bearing malaria and leishmaniasis during campaigns in Central Asia. Meanwhile, the American military impregnates bednets and jungle hammocks with 5 percent DDT to prevent malaria and filariasis during campaigns in the Pacific.[3] | Asia, Western Pacific |
1980 | Development | Proven to be an extremely effective option for people living in insects borne diseases prone areas, the concept of insecticide-treated net is developed to prevent the malaria outbreak in tropical weather countries.[10] | |

1999 | Coverage | Bed net ownership covers 2.2% of the African at-risk population.[14] | |
1999 | Coverage | Bed net coverage reaches the 51% of the population in Solomon Islands.[15] | Solomon Islands |

2006 | Program launch | Nothing But Nets is launched as a campaign to raise awareness and funding to fight malaria. It allows any individual to volunteer by giving $10 to send a net. Nothing But Nets works with partners like UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency, and the World Health Organization.[23] | |
