Homes that lure mosquitoes in and kill them

Where · Gbêkê region, BouakéWith · Penn State University, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

The question

Can window screening and EaveTubes, insecticide tubes fitted in the eaves, reduce malaria where mosquitoes resist pyrethroids?

The approach

Screening of insecticide powders, semi-field studies of mosquito behaviour, then a cluster-randomised trial in villages around Bouaké.

What the study brings

The trial measured the intervention's effect on malaria incidence in children and its cost-effectiveness, published in The Lancet in 2021.
