Regarding stability of permethrin: Is the following relevant to you
request? We have 'anecdotal evidence' that a year between dipping is
sufficient and lasts through up to 10 washes. Our colleagues in Pacific
Island Nations and Papua New Guinea have shared this information.
Also Child Health Dialogue (AHRTAG) the 1st quarter 1997 issue (6) is a
malaria special and has a quite practical article on net dipping on page 5.
