Insecticide Treated Bednets (ITNs) Research

January 12, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

QUESTION

I want to know about the treated bed net, because I want research about the ITNs. So please help me find some reasearch papers.

ANSWER

There are a wealth of scientific studies on ITNs. I will list a few here, which in turn will lead you to many others through their cited references. I am purposefully mostly mentioning papers published in open access journals, since many others restrict unsubscribed readers to only the abstract and not the full paper.
