Description
Nolvin John Mvungi and a team including Emmanuel Mbuba study why households throw away insecticide-treated mosquito nets. Their durability trial analysis was published in twenty twenty-five, set in Bagamoyo, Tanzania. As net fabric wears, families discard or shelve the nets, opening gaps in malaria protection.
The analysis covered two thousand five hundred and fourteen nets in over fifteen hundred households, mostly a boosted pyrethroid type. Fabric state was graded as good, damaged, or too torn at yearly checks. The team modeled how fabric state, net type, and a household risk index predicted loss in the next year. Worse fabric did forecast discard, even after behavior and setting were counted. The results help programs time net replacement before coverage collapses.
