An Epidemiological Model of the Effects of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets on Malaria Transmission

PLOS ONE, 2015
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) have become a central tool for malaria control because they provide personal and community-wide protection through their repellent and insecticidal properties. Here we propose a model that allows to assess the relative importance of those two effects in different epidemiological contexts and we show that these two ...
