Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

1. Evaluate whether adding PBO to pyrethroid LLINs increases the epidemiological and entomological effectiveness of the nets.

2. Compare the effects of PBO-LLINs currently in commercial development or on the market with their non-PBO equivalent in relation to:

a. malaria infection (prevalence or incidence);

b. entomological outcomes.
