Insecticide-treated nets for malaria control: real gains.

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have become an important tool in the prevention of malaria in highly endemic areas. At present large-scale ITN programmes are being implemented in sub-Saharan Africa Asia and Latin America using a number of operational approaches. However if the targets of the Abuja Declaration set in April 2000 at the African Summit on Roll Back Malaria are to be reached the scale of operations needs to be increased substantially. (excerpt)
