  abstract = {{A} trial of permethrin-treated nets ({PTN}s) versus untreated nets ({UTN}s) was conducted in {P}itoa (north {C}ameroon), where the main malaria vectors, {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. and {A}nopheles arabiensis, show metabolic-based permethrin resistance. {T}he deterrent effect of permethrin greatly reduced {A}. gambiae biting rate inside rooms where {PTN}s were installed. {A}fter 3 months of net use, malaria reinfection rate was significantly lower in children steeping under a {PTN}, but no such effect was observed after 6 months. {P}arasitaemia was not significantly different between the two arms. {T}hese findings suggest good, although transitory, personal protection against malaria conferred by {PTN}s in an area of metabotic-based permethrin resistance.},
