A chlorphenapyr mixture net Interceptor G2 shows high efficacy and wash durability against resistant mosquitoes in West Africa. PLoS ONE 11(11).
Abstract
Malaria control through use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LN) is threatened by the selection of anopheline mosquitoes strongly resistant to pyrethroid insecticides. To sustain future effectiveness it is essential to identify and evaluate novel insecticides suitable for nets. Mixtures of two insecticides with contrasting mode of action have the potential to kill resistant vectors and restore transmission control provided the formulation can withstand regular washing over the net’s life span.
