They are designed to protect individuals from disease-carrying mosquitoes by creating a barrier that these insects cannot permeate. There are several types of mosquito nets. Insecticide-treated nets, for example, not only protect the individuals who are covered but also kill mosquitoes in the process, benefiting the community at large. While mosquito nets can be used in many situations, they are generally used at night, as mosquitoes tend to be more prevalent at dawn and dusk. The duration of use for these nets varies. Some types must be treated with insecticide frequently to maintain their effectiveness; others last four to five years without needing to be retreated. Although nets can sell for as little as US$10, many people at risk for malaria and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes cannot afford these simple preventive measures. Disease prevention campaigns such as Nothing But Nets, launched by the <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828648:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">United Nations Foundation</a> in 2006, have raised awareness and donated millions of mosquito nets to protect at-risk communities around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:black;mso-no-proof:yes'><img border=0 width=188 height=281 id="_x0000_i1035" src="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/cimages/1a9b779738ea45ae53a1645e9689911f/TreatingMosquitoNets.jpg" alt="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/cimages/1a9b779738ea45ae53a1645e9689911f/TreatingMosquitoNets.jpg"></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:black'><br> <em>Above: A volunteer dipping mosquito nets into insecticide treatment in Uganda's Mpigi District.</em><i><br> <em>Photo by Alyce Henson. © Rotary International.</em></i><o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=360 style='width:270.0pt;mso-cellspacing:0cm;mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;mso-padding-alt:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes'> <td style='border:none;border-bottom:solid #BEC8DC 1.0pt;mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #BEC8DC .75pt;background:#DCEBFA;padding:7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt'> <p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";color:black'>Uniendo América Project Fair<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'> <td style='background:white;padding:7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt'> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:13.5pt'><span style='font-size: 10.5pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black'>The Rotary Club of David, Chiriquí, Panama, and District 4240 (Belize; Guatemala; Honduras) are hosting the 18th annual <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828649:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">Uniendo América Project Fair</a>, 27-29 January.

Recent outbreaks of <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828659:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">dengue fever</a>, a potentially deadly yet preventable disease, have put 2.5 billion people  almost two-fifths of the world s population  at risk of infection. The disease is spread by mosquitoes and is found largely in tropical and subtropical climates. In the past 10 years, the number of cases of dengue fever in the Western Pacific alone has more than doubled, and 500,000 people a year are hospitalized as a result of this disease. While the exact causes of the outbreaks are uncertain, the World Health Organization is urging immediate action, such as improved sanitation measures and the elimination of mosquito breeding sites, to curb the disease s spread.<br> <br> This epidemic is cause for concern as we approach the 2015 deadline for achieving the <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828660:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">UN Millennium Development Goals</a>. By that year, the United Nations intends to have stopped the spread of malaria and other major diseases and to have decreased their global prevalence. Some progress has been made toward this goal through <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828661:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">education and prevention initiatives</a>. In Vietnam, the United Nations Population Fund supports a national reproductive health and HIV-prevention curriculum for secondary school students sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Training. The United Nations Foundation s Nothing But Nets campaign has distributed 2.8 million insecticide-treated bed nets in Mali, benefiting 95 percent of all the country s children under five. Since 1997, the Revised National Tuberculosis Programme has treated more than 11 million patients in India and has saved over two million lives. However, as the recent dengue fever outbreaks show, more work is necessary to stop major diseases. <br> <br> <strong>Connect with disease-prevention projects and volunteers</strong><br> <br> Rotary clubs in <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828662:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">India</a>, <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828663:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">Mali</a>, <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828664:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">the Philippines</a>, and <a href="http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/9828665:12369989278:m:1:995487746:05256B3161F4CC47600B1929797DB9A2">Uganda</a> are implementing projects and seeking international partners to promote disease prevention in their countries.
