| Popis: | In five Tanzanian villages, nets impregnated with permethrin or lambdacyhalothrin were given out. The people received them enthusiastically and brought their nets for re-impregnation at six monthly intervals. Bioassays showed that the insecticidal power of permethrin impregnated nets remained adequate for six months unless the nets were washed. Nets with 30 mg lambdacyhalothrin/m2 retained high insecticidal power despite washing, but this dose caused temporary cold-like symptoms in those sleeping under freshly treated dry nets. Methods by which durable bednets might be made affordable by Tanzanian villagers are discussed. |
