Abstract
- Abstract Pyrethroid-chlorfenapyr nets have demonstrated improved entomological and epidemiological impact in trials across Africa. This is driving increased demand for this novel net class in malaria-endemic countries. PermaNet Dual is a new deltamethrin-chlorfenapyr net developed by Vestergaard Sàrl to provide more options to malaria control programmes. We performed an experimental hut trial to evaluate the efficacy of PermaNet Dual against wild, free-flying pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae sensu lato in Covè, Benin. PermaNet Dual induced superior levels of mosquito mortality compared to a pyrethroid-only net and a pyrethroid-piperonyl butoxide net both when unwashed (77% with PermaNet Dual vs. 23% with PermaNet 2.0 and 56% with PermaNet 3.0, p
