 Impregnated nets cannot fully substitute for DDT : field effectiveness of Malaria prevention in Solomon Islands
Policy Research Working Paper
May 31, 2003
The incidence of malaria in Solomon Islands has been declining since 1992, but there is a large geographical variation between areas in the incidence level and the rate of decline. The authors of this report used a mix of control interventions, including DDT residual house spraying and insecticide-treated mosquito nets. The results show how much each method used was contributing to malaria control in the Solomon Islands and how it can be used to design the most cost-effective package of interventions. More
