Bioefficacy and durability of Olyset ® Plus, a permethrin and piperonyl butoxide-treated insecticidal net in a 3-year long trial in Kenya
ConclusionsOlyset® Plus retained efficacy above or close to the WHO efficacy criteria for about 2 years than Olyset® Net (1 –1.5 years). Both nets did not meet the 3-year WHO efficacy criteria, and showed little attrition, comparable physical durability and survivorship, with 50% of Olyset® Plus having good and serviceable condition after 3 years. Better community education on appropriate use and upkeep of LLINs is essential to ensure effectiveness of LLIN based malaria interventions.Graphical Abstract
