Abstract
Insecticide measurements and standard World Health Organization bioassays on random samples of new unwashed, traditionally washed and up to 18 months field-used 'long-lasting' deltamethrin treated mosquito nets demonstrated a rapid reduction of efficacy under field conditions. The technology of 'long-lasting' insecticide-treatment needs much improvement.Keywords
