Résumé

Background & objectives: Malaria prevention relies heavily on insecticide-treated bednets. Even though the benefits of bednets have been proven that in most of the studies carried out in Africa, their efficacy remains dependent on local conditions. In this study, under field conditions, we evaluated the efficacy of two LLINs (PermaNet® vs Interceptor®) and two bednet treatment kits (KO TAB® vs Fendona 6SC®) against Anopheles gambiae sl Methods: Bednets were evaluated using experimental huts in the village of Pissy located in the Saponé health district of Burkina Faso. Treatments and sleepers were randomly rotated between huts. Results are expressed in terms of induced exophily, mortality after 24 h and blood-feeding inhibition. Results: A total of 1392 An. gambiae sl mosquitoes were collected during 120 nights in the experimental huts. The overall mortality rates were 85.4%(CL …
