To date, all LLINs fully recommended by the World Health Organization Pesticide Scheme (WHOPES) are made of polyester or polyethylene. In this context, a new LLIN named LifeNet(C), made of polypropylene fiber is developed. According to the manufacturer, LifeNet(C) is made of soft filament, has a greater mechanical strength, a superior insecticide wash resistance with a short insecticide regeneration time, a better flammability profile and a better environmental profile compared to polyester or polyethylene nets. Methods: Through a WHOPES supervised trial, the efficacy of LifeNet(C) was evaluated in Benin in experimental huts against free-flying wild mosquitoes. Results: LifeNet(C) has equal or better performances in terms of wash resistance, exophily, blood feeding inhibition and mortality compared to conventionally treated nets (CTN) treated with deltamethrin at 25 mg/m(2) and washed to just before exhaustion. Conclusions: The efficacy of LifeNet(C) observed in this trial indicates that this net fulfill World Health Organization Pesticide Scheme (WHOPES) requirement for Long Lasting technology in Phase II. Throughout a Phase III trial currently ongoing in Southern Benin, the durability and the acceptability of this long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets will be assessed under community conditions. specialized Deltamethrin Long lasting insecticidal net LifeNet(C) Pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae Benin BENIN 052 020 18 947 [9 ] 2018 1471-2458 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010073722 10.1186/s12889-018-5876-9 1471-2458 [F B010073722] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010073722 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers18-09/010073722.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-09-12 2023-07-11 fdi:010073722 fre
