  abstract = {{O}bjective: {T}o evaluate the efficacy of permethrin-treated plastic sheeting ({ITPS}) applied as a lining to the ceiling or walls of rooms against pyrethroid-susceptible and pyrethroid-resistant {A}nopheles gambiae. {M}ethod: {O}vernight tests were carried out in veranda-trap experimental huts in {V}allee du {K}ou, where two molecular forms of {A}. gambiae, {S} and {M}, occur. {T}he {S} form is mostly pyrethroid resistant due to the kdr mechanism, and the {M} form is mostly kdr susceptible. {A} variety of {ITPS} covered surfaces were tested, ranging from ceiling only to all walls plus ceiling covered. {R}esults: {ITPS} had a major effect on the mortality of mosquitoes, the proportion killed being dependent upon the surface area covered. {H}omozygotes for kdr resistance showed lower rates of mortality than did heterozygotes or homozygotes for susceptibility. {D}eterred entry of mosquitoes and inhibition of blood feeding were also correlated with surface area covered. {T}he mode of action and efficacy of {ITPS} seems to bear closer resemblance to that induced by indoor residual spraying ({IRS}) than to that induced by insecticide-treated nets. {C}onclusions: {ITPS} might be conceived as being equivalent to long-lasting or permanent {IRS} but without some of the operational constraints normally associated with spraying. {H}igh coverage of {ITPS} could potentially have a mass population effect on mosquitoes and give rise to long-term community protection against malaria. {A} phase {III} trial is justified to assess the acceptability of {ITPS} and its efficacy against malaria.},
