Textile testing to assess the resistance to damage of long-lasting insecticidal nets for malaria control and prevention
BACKGROUND: LLINs are susceptible to forming holes within a short time in use, compromising their ability to provide long-term physical protection against insect-borne vectors of disease. Mechanical damage is known to be responsible for the majority of holes, with most being the result of snagging,...
