Median knock-down time as a new method for evaluating insecticide-treated textiles for mosquito control

Ole Skovmand, Julien Bonnet, Olivier Pigeon, Vincent Corbel Malaria Journal 2008, 7:114 (27 June 2008)

This is an important paper because many laboratories have been wresting for some years with the problem of how best to measure regeneration time of LLIN after washing.

Long-term field performance of a polyester-based long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net in rural Uganda

Albert Kilian, Wilson Byamukama, Olivier Pigeon, Francis Atieli, Stephan Duchon, Chi Phan Malaria Journal 2008, 7:49 (20 March 2008)

This study confirms that PermaNet 2.0 warrants full recommendation by the standards set by WHOPES, since the majority of nets exceeded the three-year threshold and, as it is the first of its kind to use the WHOPES methodology, it will set the scientific standards for future evaluations.It also demonstrates that, for ‘coating’ LLIN, it is not the washing that is the main factor responsible for removing insecticide from the netting, but routine handling.
