Physical integrity and residual bio-efficacy of PBO-pyrethroid synergist-treated and pyrethroid-only LLINs after 1.5 years of field use in Western Kenya
Both physical integrity and bioefficacy of LLINs declined significantly within 18 months. The findings demonstrate that not all nets in the field offer maximum protection by this time point, calling for net care education and further evaluation of PBO-LLINs especially in pyrethroid-resistant regions.
