RFI: Insecticide Treated Bednets & long-term caution
----------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
Regarding insecticide treated bednets (ITNs), can anyone direct me to
any recent (1995-2000) publications/studies, or current trials which
are trying to shed any light on the following:
1) effect of the use of ITNs on vector-biting patterns in the long-
term;
2) resistance to the pyrethroids used in the ITNs themselves;
3) whether the protection from bites (with effective use of an ITN)
impairs personal immunity?
Any responses gratefully received at <s_collens@hotmail.com>
With many thanks,
