Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) are widely distributed to communities where
malaria is a major cause of mortality, especially to those under the age of 5 years-old. To …

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) is promoting the use of insecticide treated
nets (ITNs) in order to roll back malaria. Long-life netting (LLIN) is preferred and this study …

Background Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are widely used for the prevention and
control of malaria. In Guatemala, since 2006, ITNs have been distributed free of charge in …

Simple Summary This study evaluated the physical durability of new types of bed nets with
two insecticides incorporated into the fibers (Interceptor G2, Royal Guard, and Olyset Plus) …

Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the primary malaria prevention and
control intervention in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. While LLINs are expected to last at …

Background Mass distributions of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have contributed to
large reductions in the malaria burden. However, this success is in jeopardy due in part to …

Background LLINs are susceptible to forming holes within a short time in use, compromising
