No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although mosquito coils are widely used, there is no robust evidence that their use can provide clinical reduction in malaria. This study will randomise 4 groups of 400 houses, each with 5 people, in rural China and monitor cases of malaria in each group each month for 6 months. The treatment groups will include Coils, Treated bed nets, Coils plus treated bed nets, or no treatment (control). All cases detected will be given prompt appropriate treatment.
