Measuring effects of ivermectin-treated cattle on potential malaria vectors in Vietnam: A cluster-randomized trial

ConclusionsThe ability of this study to quantify the impacts of IVM treatment was limited due to unexpectedly large spatiotemporal variability in trapping rates; an area-wide decrease in trapping counts across all six villages post-intervention; and potential spillover effects. However, this study provides important data to directly inform future studies in the GMS and beyond for IVM-based vector control.
