Cameroon, Ngodi-Si, Nyong & Kelle Division, Sanaga Valley: Bednet distributions

5000 LLITNs supplied by Against Malaria Foundation arrived on the 21st February 2008 for free distribution in 44 villages from 10 subdivisions of Cameroon situated in the forest region where malaria occurs throughout the year, the main vector of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum being Anopheles gambiae. Studies in these villages had shown the presence of more than 200 mosquitoes per night per house making it very difficult due to being disturbed by the mosquito bites throughout the night.
