Three-arm Cluster Randomised Control Trial Evaluation of Guardian Spatial Emanator as a Complimentary Vector Control Tool in Papua New Guinea
Sponsor: Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research and Public Health Ltd
Summary
Malaria cases are increasing in Papua New Guinea, partly because insecticide-treated nets do not fully protect people, especially from mosquitoes that bite outdoors. Spatial emanators are new devices that release insecticide into the air to repel or kill mosquitoes. This study will test whether these devices reduce malaria infections in rural villages in Madang Province by comparing households using indoor or outdoor devices with those without them. The results will help guide national malaria control strategies.
