Importance of factors determining the effective lifetime of a mass, long-lasting, insecticidal net distribution: a sensitivity analysis

Olivier JT Briët, Diggory Hardy, Thomas A Smith Malaria Journal 2012, 11:20 (13 January 2012)

Use of a pre-existing agent-based mathematical modelling platform for malaria to extend knowledge that is based on field studies on net and insecticide decay to model and estimate the epidemiological lifetimes of insecticide-treated bed nets under field conditions. A topic about which rather little is actually known.

Efficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets in use in Macha, Zambia, against the local Anopheles arabiensis population

Laura C Norris, Douglas E Norris Malaria Journal 2011, 10:254 (31 August 2011)

Continued monitoring and assessment of both the vector population and the efficacy of LLINs in use is necessary in order to appropriately modify vector control operations and prevent the development of pyrethroid resistance.

Which family members use the best nets? An analysis of the condition of mosquito nets and their distribution within households in Tanzania

Angela Tsuang, Jo Lines, Kara Hanson Malaria Journal 2010, 9:211 (22 July 2010)

Household dynamics of net/ITN use have important implications for how community coverage of these intervention is measured in future and how best to target nets at the household level in malaria endemic countries in Africa to achieve maximum impact.
