Perimeter Insect Guard

World Mosquito Day is no joke. Over 4.2 million lives have been lost to mosquito-borne illnesses in the past decade. Perimeter Insect Guard aims to change this. #WorldMosquitoDay #GlobalHealth #MosquitoBorneDiseases #MalariaPrevention #DengueFever #ZikaVirus #Chikungunya #MilitarySafety #TroopProtection #InsectRepellent #PublicHealth #FirstResponders #InnovationInDefense #ProtectOurTroops #VectorControl #HealthAndSafety #PerimeterInsectGuard #ChildSafety #CollaborativeSolutions #HealthInnovation

The statistics from the WHO report highlight the significant global impact of malaria in 2022, with 249 million cases and 608,000 deaths reported across 85 countries. If you are looking for ways to protect against malaria, especially in high-risk areas, Perimeter Insect Shield offers treatments for uniforms, similar to what is provided for the U.S. Military. This service can be extended to other organizations or individuals seeking protection from insect-borne diseases. For more information on their services and how they can help you, it might be useful to visit their website or contact them directly. #WHO #FDA #MalariaPrevention #GlobalHealth #WildlandFirefighters #MalariaNets #HealthProtection #InsectRepellent #PublicHealth #StayProtected #PerimeterInsectGuard #WarmKraft #PineBelt #TickProtection #VectorControl https://lnkd.in/d_nUi7c

Malaria kills more than 400,000 people annually - Perimeter Insect Guard is looking to drastically reduce this with ETO treated nets. #WHO #Malaria #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth

Introducing Perimeter Eto Insect Guard The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a “public health emergency of international concern” due to increasing concerns of the Zika Virus, a mosquito-borne virus linked to alarming consequences such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome and microcephaly birth defects. Specifically, Zika is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which also carries dengue, chikungunya, and the West Nile virus. The Zika Virus is a cause for high alert, spreading to more than 20 countries since the initial outbreak in May 2015, including the United States. WHO reports that the virus is “spreading explosively” in the Americas, with as many as 3 to 4 million infections possible over 12 months. WHO does not often declare emergencies. In fact, only three times since the International Health Regulations were enacted in 2007 have there been international public health emergencies; the first was when the H1N1 swine flu pandemic erupted in 2009, the second was when Polio resurfaced in May 2014, and the third was the Ebola outbreak in August 2014. The Zika Virus is the fourth ever “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC), and the first time WHO has issued such a warning over a mosquito-borne disease. Eliminating the Vector Standing water and open sewage systems are fertile grounds for female Aedes aegypti mosquitos that carry the Zika virus. In areas of high alert, such as Brazil, health ministries have announced plans to send more than 220,000 troops to treat potential sites of larvae nests throughout the country. Doctors are advising citizens, especially pregnant women who are most at risk for severe complications, to wear mosquito repellent and repellent-treated clothing during daytime hours or times of possible contact with the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Introducing Perimeter Eto Insect Guard Perimeter Eto Insect Guard provides maximum bite protection from the Aedes aegypti mosquito through a new insecticide called Etofenprox. Etofenprox is layered onto the fabric of Perimeter Eto Insect Guard garments, providing safety from bites at a consistent protection rate of 90% or higher, and the reliability lasts for up to 75 washes. Etofenprox is a synthetic “pyrethroid-like” ether insecticide. The structure of Etofenprox makes it more stable and less toxic than other pyrethroid-insecticides such as permethrin. Etofenprox works by attacking the neuronal axon of the vector, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, and numerous other disease-carrying pests. #ZikaVirus #PublicHealth #WHO #PerimeterEtoInsectGuard #Etofenprox #MosquitoProtection #HealthSafety #InsectRepellent #AedesAegypti #VectorControl

Perimeter Insect Guard continues to invest and innovate to stop malaria. We are working on new products on processes to help end this deadly disease. Contact us to better understand how we can help. Permethrin-treated nets, once hailed as a crucial tool in the fight against malaria, are now facing diminishing effectiveness due to the alarming rise of mosquito resistance. This resistance is a significant concern in global health, particularly in regions where malaria is endemic. The Rise of Mosquito Resistance Mosquito resistance to permethrin and other pyrethroid insecticides is primarily driven by genetic mutations in mosquito populations. These mutations enable mosquitoes to survive exposure to insecticides that would otherwise be lethal. Over time, as these resistant mosquitoes reproduce, the proportion of the mosquito population that can withstand insecticides increases, rendering treatments less effective. Several mechanisms contribute to this resistance. One common mechanism is target site resistance, where mutations occur in the sodium channel proteins that permethrin targets, reducing the insecticide's binding efficacy. Another mechanism is metabolic resistance, where mosquitoes develop increased levels of enzymes that break down insecticides more rapidly. Implications The ineffectiveness of permethrin-treated nets has profound implications for malaria control programs. These nets have been a cornerstone of malaria prevention efforts, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease burden is highest. Permethrin nets are designed to provide a physical barrier against mosquitoes and kill any that come into contact with the treated surface. However, as resistance grows, the insecticidal component of these nets becomes less effective, compromising their protective benefits. The consequence is a potential increase in malaria transmission. As resistant mosquitoes are not killed by the nets, they can continue to feed on humans and spread the malaria parasite. This situation threatens to reverse the gains made in malaria control over the past few decades, during which widespread use of insecticide-treated nets contributed to significant reductions in malaria morbidity and mortality. Challenges and Solutions Addressing mosquito resistance to permethrin and other insecticides is challenging. One major hurdle is the lack of alternative insecticides that are both safe and effective for widespread use in bed nets. Development of new insecticides is a lengthy and costly process, and even when new products become available, mosquitoes can eventually develop resistance to them as well. The growing resistance of mosquitoes to permethrin-treated nets is a significant setback in the fight against malaria. It underscores the adaptive nature of mosquito populations and the ongoing challenge of maintaining effective malaria control measures. To sustain progress, it is crucial to invest in research and development of new tools.
