TI  - The efficacy and physical condition of olyset insecticide-treated nets after 5 
      years use in rural Lao PDR.
PG  - 268-73
AB  - We assessed the insecticidal efficacy of Olyset nets after 5 years of use in 
      rural villages of Lao PDR and evaluated the relationship between the physical 
      condition of the nets and their insecticidal effect. Our results showed that most 
      of the Olyset nets remained effective after 5 years of use; however, there was no 
      significant relationship between the physical condition of the nets (ie, presence 
      of holes, level of stains) and the insecticidal effect. The presence of large 
      holes in polyester nets compared to the Olyset nets suggest the Olyset nets are 
      stronger; however, nearly half of Olyset nets had small holes or had been 
      previously repaired. Interestingly, the insecticide concentration and knockdown 
      (KD) rate for 3 stored nets was low compared to the other nets routinely used in 
      the house. To maintain the effectiveness of Olyset nets in rural villages of Lao 
      PDR and other areas, residents should be advised to repair and store the nets 
      appropriately and avoid exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight for 
      long periods.
