Substandard bed nets and malaria: Causes, Impact and Solutions
Objectives
To understand the causes and impact of substandard LLINs on the global malaria burden.
Principal Institution
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) are a cornerstone of malaria control. LLIN undergo strict testing overseen by WHO and are subject to inspections prior to delivery to recipient countries. Despite this, we found that LLINs delivered to Papua New Guinea (PNG) between 2013 and 2019 were ineffective against malaria mosquitoes. Concurrently we observed a massive rise in malaria in PNG. This study is aimed at understanding the causes and impact of substandard LLINs on the global malaria burden.
