Laboratory and semi-field evaluation of long-lasting insecticidal nets against leishmaniasis vector, Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus) duboscqi in Kenya.

Abstract

Olyset net use in areas where sandflies are nuisance biters and/or disease vectors could be more beneficial in preventing sandfly bites than other tested bednets. It is recommended that mesh sizes of LLINs should be smaller for control of sandflies than those used for control of mosquitoes.
