INSECTICIDE TREATED NETS
The Anopheles is one of the best known types of mosquito because of its role in the transmission of malaria. Since the Anopheles mosquito bites between dusk and dawn, sleeping under mosquito nets treated with insecticides provides critical protection against the spread of malaria. Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) can prevent around 50 percent of malaria cases and can reduce child deaths by an average 18 percent. Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the most cost effective and sustainable method for protection against malaria. LLINs are treated in factories with insecticide and last for approximately three years. Besides protecting those sleeping from infected mosquitoes, LLINs help reduce the overall number of mosquitoes by killing those that come into contact with the treated net. LLINs are increasingly being distributed in place of conventionally treated ITNs which need retreating with insecticide regularly.
