Efficacy of Two Dual Active Ingredient Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets for Control of Malaria Transmitted by Pyrethroid Resistant Vectors in Benin

The massive scale-up of Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN) has led to a major reduction in malaria burden (up to 50%) in many sub-Saharan African countries. This progress is threatened by the wide scale selection of insecticide resistant malaria vectors. New types of LLIN combining a mixture of two insecticides have been developed to control resistant mosquitoes. The efficacy of two bi-treated LLIN are compared to a standard LLIN in a three-arm, single blinded, cluster-randomized trial in Cove, Benin. The arms are; 1/ Royal Guard, a net combining pyriproxyfen (PPF), which is known to disrupt female reproduction and fertility of eggs, and the pyrethroid alpha-cypermethrin, 2/Interceptor G2, LLIN incorporating a mixture of two adulticides with different modes of action; chlorfenapyr and a pyrethroid (alpha-cypermethrin), and 3/ The control arm: Interceptor, a standard LLIN treated with alpha-cypermethrin. The primary outcome of the trial will be malaria case incidence in children aged 6 months to 10 years.
