Study shows children sleeping under bed netting treated with two pesticides contract malaria at less than half the rate of those with single-treated netting Expert says study is proof that such nets with two or more insecticides should have been approved for widespread use a long time ago Mosq
Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to people through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Symptoms of malaria can range from mild to severe and include fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can cause anemia, low blood pressure, and organ failure.
Mosquitoes have evolved to tolerate pyrethroids – a class of insecticides the world has relied on for preventing malaria “By using two or more active ingredients, such combination nets can decisively kill off insecticide-resistant mosquito variants before they have the opportunity to multiply, thus preventing resistance from becoming established across entire mosquito populations in the first place,” Prof. Killeen commented.
