The LLIH was treated with the pyrethroid insecticide permethrin. It was evaluated concurrently with ignited mosquito coils over 20 successive weeks. In total, 2,227 mosquitoes (130 Ali. gambiae an 2,097 Mansonia spp.) corresponding to 27.8 mosquitoes per trap-nigbt were collected in the untreated but (control). The repellent effect of both coils and LLIH significantly reduced the number of mosquitoes entering the huts (35- 60%). There was no significant difference between LLIH and mosquito coils in blood-feeding inhibition (93-97%) or in mortality (88-98%). The LLIH is more cost-effective and user-friendly than mosquito coils, which need to be replaced nightly to protect people sleeping indoors from mosquito bites. The effects of LLIH oil exophagic vectors also need to be investigated because most people that steep in hammocks are outdoors. specialized insecticide treated hammock penuethrin field testing malaria vectors pest mosquitoes 052 44 4 651-655 2007 0022-2585 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040687 10.1603/0022-2585(2007)44[651:PFTOAL]2.0.CO;2 0022-2585 [F B010040687] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040687 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2007/09/010040687.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2007-10-11 2017-08-23 fdi:010040687 fre
