Delivering insecticide-treated nets for malaria prevention: innovative strategies [PDF]
Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine, 2016 The wide-scale adoption of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has led to significant reductions in malaria morbidity and mortality worldwide. Delivery of ITNs to the 3.2 billion people at risk of malaria requires multiple steps in diverse settings. The effectiveness of the delivery of ITNs in order to prevent malaria relies on activities that include ITN ...

The combination of indoor residual spraying with insecticide-treated nets versus insecticide-treated nets alone for preventing malaria (Protocol) [PDF]
, 2017 This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:\ud To evaluate whether indoor residual spraying (IRS) in combination with long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs)/insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) causes an additional reduction to malaria transmission versus LLINs/ITNs alone.
