Impact of malaria vector control interventions implemented in Luangwa District southeastern of Zambia: A 13-year observational time series analysis of malaria trends
IRS with durable non-pyrethroid insecticide formulations and improved access to diagnosis and treatment were both clearly associated with substantial incremental reductions of malaria incidence. While no epidemiological effect could be attributed to LLINs, this presumably occurred because coverage was already high at the outset and remained so throughout the study.
