Long-lasting insecticidal nets for malaria control in myanmar and Nigeria: Lessons from the past, tools for the future

Abstract

While having saved many lives over the past decade, continued dependence on mass distribution of free longlasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) is not sufficient and may not be sustainable. Programs must be enabled with flexible policy and technical options to place LLINs within a larger context of multisectoral partnerships and integrated vector management, avoiding what happened in the DDT era, where there was overreliance implementing a uniform solution to a complex problem.
