1.Assessement of the current coverage and dimished rate of mosquito nets usage for malaria control in Thua Thien - Hue
Journal of Malaria and parasite diseases Control 2003;0(1):66-70
An evaluation of the current coverage and diminished rate of mosquito nets usage for malaria control plays an important role in malaria control planning. A survery was carried out between 1995 and 2003 in 15 hamlets of five communes of 3 malaria endemic districts in Thua Thien – Hue province. A high rate of bed-net usage was found in the surveyed hamlets. In average, the coverage reached the rate of 2.0 ± 0.3% nets per person. However a considerable rate of damaged nets (4.7 ± 1.2%) was also recorded in the surveys. Further surveys and studies should be conducted to determine the ways the bed-nets go down and get diminished for planning of more appropriate malaria control measures

2.Results of malaria vector control in Thua Thien - Hue (1991-2000)
Journal of Preventive Medicine 1999;9(1):41-45
An investigation on 31 communes at Thua Thien - Hue province, with the total of 116 times of investigations had collected 29 species of Anopheles mosquitoes with 2 varitae: Anopheles Meigen, 1818 (10 species) and Cellia Theobald, 1902 (19 species). The predominant species were An. Sinensis, An. Aconitus and An. Philippinensis. 2 major mosquito vectors were An.dirus and An. Minimus, however they accounted for low rates
