What is a Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN)?

An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide.

The insecticide is cleverly bound within the fibres that make up the netting and is 'slow released' over a 4-5 year period. Hence 'long lasting'.

Pre-distribution information

The risk of malaria transmission in the rural areas of The Gambia, where approximately half of the population live, is considerably higher than that in the urban areas near the coast.

1,000 nets will be distributed to the Wallalan Hamlets in the Central and Upper Baddibu district.

These villages lie with mosquito breeding sites on two sides, the Bao Bolong tributary to one side and the floodplains of the river on the other. The villages were originally selected, some 25 years ago, for the first clinical trials of the impact of bed nets and insecticide treated bednets on malaria so ensuring these villages are protected soon is highly appropriate.

Post-distribution information

Expected Sep 2010.

Follow-up surveys

These take place 6, 18, 30 and 42 months post-distribution. A survey of 50 households provides sample information on what proportion of nets continue to be used, if they are used correctly and the state of the nets.
