The lethal house lure
2016 to 2019, then follow-up studiesCompleted
40 villages, central Côte d'Ivoire
Window screening and EaveTubes turn the house into a lure and kill device. Mosquitoes drawn to the eaves by the smell of sleepers meet an insecticide instead of a way in. The approach was tested in a two-arm cluster randomised trial, with new treated nets in every household.
Results
- Malaria in children fell from 2.29 to 1.43 cases per child per year (hazard ratio 0.62)The Lancet, 2021
- Infection prevalence dropped from 50.4% to 36.7% eighteen months after installationBMC Medicine, 2023
- A 74% chance of being cost-effective compared with existing care in Côte d'IvoireThe Lancet, 2021
