Combining indoor residual spraying and insecticide-treated nets for malaria control in Africa: a review of possible outcomes and an outline of suggestions for the future.

In one case, based on simulations of IRS/ITN combined interventions, Yakob et al [ 16 ] recently reported that even though there is likely to be significant reduction of transmission by using 80% coverage with pyrethroid treated ITNs and DDT together at household level, this combination still resulted in higher transmission potential (basic reproductive number, R o = 11.1 down from an control baseline of 39.5), than 80% coverage with just the ITNs alone without the DDT (R o = 0.1).
