How much does malaria vector control quality matter: the epidemiological impact of holed nets and inadequate indoor residual spraying. by Andrea M Rehman, Mike Coleman, Christopher Schwabe, Giovanna Baltazar, Abrahan Matias, Irina Roncon Gomes, Lee Yellott, Cynthia Aragon, Gloria Nseng Nchama, Themba Mzilahowa, Mark Rowland, Immo Kleinschmidt

“…<h4>Background</h4>Insecticide treated nets (ITN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the two pillars of malaria vector control in Africa, but both interventions are beset by quality and coverage concerns. Data from three control programs were used to investigate the impact of: 1) the physical deterioration of ITNs, and 2) inadequate IRS spray coverage, on their respective protective effectiveness.…”
