The impact of bed-net use on malaria prevalence [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2013
Malaria infection continues to be a major problem in many parts of the world including the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Insecticide-treated bed-nets have shown to reduce malaria cases by 50%; however, improper handling and human behavior can diminish their effectiveness.

BED-NETS (MOSQUITO-NETS) AND MORBIDITY FROM MALARIA

The Lancet, 1986
A study was undertaken in the Farafenni area of The Gambia to determine the relation between morbidity from malaria in children and the use of bed-nets (mosquito-nets). From comparisons of parasite and spleen rates in bed-net users and in non-users it seemed that bed-nets had a strong protective effect.

Reports of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets catching on fire: a threat to bed net users and to successful malaria control? [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2014
One of the control tools to reduce malaria transmission is the use of LLINs. However, several studies show that household bed net use is quite low. A study was developed to better understand the cultural factors that might explain these gaps in Benin. One reason mentioned is that bed nets can catch on fire and cause harm.
