Correlation of textile ‘resistance to damage’ scores with actual physical survival of long-lasting insecticidal nets in the field

202114 citationsOpen accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

This study provides proof of principle that the RD metric can predict physical durability of LLIN products in the field and could be used to assess new products and guide manufacturers in creating improved products. However, additional validation from other field data, particularly for next generation LLIN, will be required before the RD score can be included in procurement decisions for LLINs.
