Interventional

Intervention Type : Other
Intervention Description : Curtains made from deltamethrin-coated polyester netting (Long Lasting Impregnated netting; PermaNet® Vestergaard-Frandsen, Lausanne, Switzerland), hung in all outer windows regardless of the presence or absence of other window coverings (World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme [WHOPES], approved material for indoor use).

Insecticide-treated water storage container covers are provided as ready-to-use products (a pre-packaged standard size with elasticated border, to close round the water container rim). Treated households provided with enough covers for all large household receptacles that hold water for longer than 1 week (it is from these containers that most Aedes aegypti emerge).

Control households received no treatment.

Following introduction of ITMs, the total duration of both intervention and follow-up was 26 months.
