- Netting
materials used so far for mosquito nets have been polyester,
polyethylene, nylon and cotton. Other materials such as polypropylene
are currently developed and new materials or mixed fibres will be soon
available.
- Polyamide/nylon was once used for nets but
has now been replaced by polyester. By comparison, it is easily soiled,
attracts dust, is less UV resistant and deteriorates much faster than
polyester.
- The quality of
nets is important since people do not want to use poor quality nets and
good quality nets are more durable without being significantly more
expensive.
- Quality is
even more important if the net has not been treated or retreated with
insecticide. In such cases, a better quality net will provide better
protection. If a net has been properly treated with a pyrethroid, the
insecticide will make even a bad or holed net an effective
tool.
- Availability
of an effective long-lasting insecticide treatment for netting materials
that can last for the life-span of a net would be invaluable for a
number of reasons, including: low treatment rates are the major obstacle
facing ITN programmes in Africa; net users do not perceive the need for
retreatment, the dipping procedure is not simple; insecticides are
commonly unavailable or too expensive; treatment centres are not
operational or unsustainable.
- Nets are
available in both 75 and 100 denier material. The nets are treated in a
post-production stage using a new Bayer LLIN technology
adapted from
Bayer’s in-field treatment kit marketed under the brand name KO-Tab 123.
This technology consists of Deltamethrin SC (WHO specification 333/SC)3
together with specially designed chemistry that binds the insecticide to
the net, maintaining biological efficacy for over 21
washes.
At the current
cost, insurance, and freight price of USD 2 for untreated nets,
this corresponds to sales of USD 40 million for net manufacturers,
distribution revenues within the private sector of USD 8 million,
institutional expenditures of USD 56 million for nets and distribution,
and USD 40 million of expenditures by households. These estimates do not
include either insecticide costs, which would add another USD 0.80 per
year per net, or reimpregnation campaign costs, which would add another
USD 1.20 per year per net. |
