  abstract = {{B}ackground: {I}n order to evaluate whether criteria for {LLIN} field performance (phase {III}) set by the {WHO} {P}esticide {E}valuation {S}cheme are met, first and second generations of one of these products, {P}erma{N}et ({R}), a polyester net using the coating technology were tested. {M}ethods: {A} randomized, double blinded study design was used comparing {LLIN} to conventionally treated nets and following {LLIN} for three years under regular household use in rural conditions. {P}rimary outcome measures were deltamethrin residue and bioassay performance (60 minute knock-down and 24 hour mortality after a three minute exposure) using a strain of {A}nopheles gambiae s. s. sensitive to pyrethroid insecticides. {R}esults: {B}aseline concentration of deltamethrin was within targets for all net types but was rapidly lost in conventionally treated nets and first generation {P}erma{N}et ({R}) with median of 0.7 and 2.5 mg/m(2) after six months respectively. {I}n contrast, second generation {P}erma{N}et ({R}) retained insecticide well and had 41.5% of baseline dose after 36 months (28.7 mg/m(2)). {S}imilarly, vector mortality and knockdown dropped to 18% and 70% respectively for first generation {LLIN} after six months but remained high (88.5% and 97.8% respectively) for second generation {P}erma{N}et ({R}) after 36 months of follow up at which time 90.0% of nets had either a knockdown rate >= 95% or mortality rate >= 80%. {C}onclusion: {S}econd generation {P}erma{N}et r showed excellent results after three years of field use and fulfilled the {WHOPES} criteria for {LLIN}. {L}oss of insecticide on {LLIN} using coating technology under field conditions was far more influenced by factors associated with handling rather than washing.},
