Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness and durability of two insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) – Interceptor and Interceptor G2 – against mosquito strains in Tanzania, focusing on their performance after washing.
- Interceptor G2, which features dual adulticides and is designed for resistance management, outperformed Interceptor in tests involving free-flying mosquitoes but showed lower mortality rates in restricted flight conditions.
- Four bioassay methods were used to assess the nets' efficacy, highlighting that in free-flying scenarios, Interceptor G2 led to higher mosquito mortality, particularly when mosquitoes had increased contact with the treated fabric.
