Antibiofilm and antimicrobial activity of bacteria from hard corals and sponges in Indonesia

December 30, 2010. A cohort of 1030 LLINs owned households, with their household members, were randomly selected and involved in the study. The data were collected in four waves every other week via interviews and observations. A Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) was used for data analysis. Results: Consistent use of LLIN declined towards the end of the malaria season. Early in the season 2236(41.6%) individuals were consistent users and at the end of the season it declined to 10.2%. The presence of LLINs on hanged position (Adjusted IRR = 3.41, SE = 0.181, P<0.0001), availability of an adequate number of LLINs (Adjusted IRR = 1.25, SE = 0.052, P<0.0001), and the presence of children under five years age (Adjusted IRR = 1.24, SE = 0.078, P<0.0001) were more likely to use LLINs consistently than their counterparts. Conclusion: Residents in malaria endemic areas tend to be less protected at the end of malaria transmission season. Individuals tend to use bed net if it is kept in a ready to use position in the household.
