Table 1 Adequacy criteria for implementation of indoor residual spraying
| Â | GRADE: Total criteria: 9 7.5 to 9 criteria satisfied = Programme implementation adequate 5 to 7 criteria satisfied = Programme implementation of intermediate adequacy 0 to 4.5 criteria satisfied = Programme implementation deficient |
|---|---|
No. | Criteria |
| Â | Preliminary research phase |
1 | The population at risk was stratified according to the burden of the disease and epidemiology of the transmission [10] |
2 | Vector habits were analysed and confirmed [10] |
3 | Sensitivity to potential insecticides was confirmed prior to selecting the insecticide(s) with the best results [10] |
| Â | Coverage |
4 | 100% of the target houses (according to national standards) were sprayed at least once a year [9] |
5 | Stockouts of insecticides for spraying did not exceed six months in any of the cases [9] |
| Â | Quality |
6 | Updated programmes and rules exist on the implementation of residual spraying [10] |
7 | A system is in place to monitor the resistance and sensitivity of insecticides used in indoor spraying [10] |
8 | Systematic procedures exist to monitor vector habits [10] |
9 | Systematic procedures exist to monitor residual insecticide in the homes sprayed [10] |
