Malaria is still a major burden causing the death of nearly 655,000 people each year, mostly
in children under the age of five, and affecting those living in the poorest countries [1] …

The effectiveness of vector-control tools is often assessed by experiments as a reduction in
mosquito landings using human landing catches (HLCs). However, HLCs alone only …

Due to the rapid extension of pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors worldwide,
manufacturers are developing new vector control tools including insecticide mixtures …

Background The ability of mosquitoes to evade fatal exposure to insecticidal nets and sprays
represents the primary obstacle to eliminating malaria. However, it remains unclear which …

Long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) provide both direct and indirect protection against
malaria. As pyrethroid resistance evolves in mosquito vectors, it will be useful to understand …

Background The effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets in preventing malaria is threatened
by developing resistance against pyrethroids. Little is known about how strongly this affects …

Background Indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated
nets (LLINs) are commonly used together even though evidence that such combinations …

Background There are major concerns over sustaining the efficacy of current malaria vector
control interventions given the rapid spread of resistance, particularly to pyrethroids. This …

Background Malaria transmission is highly heterogeneous in most settings, resulting in the
formation of recognizable malaria hotspots. Targeting these hotspots might represent a …

We conducted a prospective evaluation to measure the physical durability of two brands of
long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) distributed during a campaign in 2008 in Nampula …
