Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria intervention coverage, morbidity, and mortality in Africa: a geospatial modelling analysis

Daniel J. Weiss et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of disruptions to malaria control on malaria incidence and mortality in Africa. Findings show that reductions in access to effective antimalarial drug treatment and insecticide-treated net coverage could lead to increased malaria burden, potentially doubling malaria mortality in 2020.

The causes of holes and loss of physical integrity in long-lasting insecticidal nets

Amy Wheldrake et al.

Summary: Mechanical damage, particularly snagging, tearing, and abrasion, is the primary cause of the loss of physical integrity in LLINs. New specifications and minimum standards for seam construction are needed to improve the resistance of LLIN products to mechanical damage during normal use.

Development of a single resistance to damage metric for mosquito nets related to physical integrity in the field

Amy Wheldrake et al.

Summary: The study developed algorithms and conducted laboratory textile testing to determine the RD value of any LLIN product prior to distribution. Only six out of sixteen LLINs achieved an RD value above 50, suggesting a need for product innovation to increase resistance to damage. LLINs with higher RD values were associated with lower hole damage in the field.

Textile testing to assess the resistance to damage of long-lasting insecticidal nets for malaria control and prevention

Amy Wheldrake et al.

Summary: LLINs are susceptible to forming holes quickly during use, with mechanical damage being responsible for the majority. The resistance to damage varies based on fabric design specifications, rather than polymer type. A new suite of testing methods allows for assessment and specification of LLIN performance prior to distribution, establishing minimum performance standards.

Correlation of textile 'resistance to damage' scores with actual physical survival of long-lasting insecticidal nets in the field

Albert Kilian et al.

Summary: This study explores the usefulness of the resistance to damage (RD) score in predicting the physical durability of LLIN products. The results suggest that a 10-point increase in RD score can reduce the risk of failure by 36% and extend the useful life of LLINs by 7 months.
