Description
Joseph Chabi and colleagues tested in 2026 whether new dual-chemical bed nets could stand in for indoor spraying in Sakassou, Ivory Coast. After three rounds of spraying ended, the district switched to Interceptor G2 nets, and the team weighed biting rates and malaria spread against what spraying had achieved.
Biting rates fell by about 55 percent under spraying and about 49 percent under the new nets, with no clear gap between the two, and disease spread fell in step. The paper offers malaria programs a practical swap option where spraying is hard to sustain, while still urging close watch for any rebound.
