The combined use of a mosquito repellent and long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) by household members would result in a 40% reduction in malaria prevalence compared with households that only use LLINs.
It has been recognized that the use of malaria preventive measures in combination with LLINs could improve the effectiveness of nets in preventing the disease. This study examined the effect of a combined use of mosquito repellent (i.e., Buzz Off) and LLINs on malaria prevalence in an area of unstable and seasonal malaria transmission.

| Malaria parasite (P. falciparum and/or P. vivax)through microscopic detection | The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of a combined use of mosquito repellent and LLINs in reducing malaria. The primary outcome of the study is detection of malaria parasites (P. falciparum and/or P. vivax) through examination of microscopic blood slides collected from finger-pricks. |
