Demonstration of DDT alternatives: Yemen

Yemen will compare the efficacy of LLINs alone and the combination of LLINs and IRS on the malaria burden measured by malaria prevalence and passive case detection at health facilities. The project also assesses the impact (insecticide resistance) of the two studies on malaria vectors and monitors malaria vector behaviour between the two interventions.
