How much does malaria vector control quality matter: the epidemiological impact of holed nets and inadequate indoor residual spraying.
Insecticide treated nets (ITN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the two pillars of malaria vector control in Africa, but both interventions are beset by quality and coverage concerns. Data from three control programs were used to investigate the impact of: 1) the physical deterioration of ITNs...
