Laboratory bioassays
The first measurement, on known mosquito strains
Products are exposed to insectary-reared mosquitoes, susceptible and resistant strains, to measure mortality, knock-down and durability before any field trial.
What we measure
- Mortality and knock-down
- Blood-feeding inhibition
- Efficacy after washing
Methods
- WHO cone tests, on nets and on treated blocks
- Tunnel tests
- WHO tube tests
- CDC bottle bioassays
WHO guidelines and testing standards
- WHO Guideline for the prequalification assessment of insecticide-treated nets (new tab)
