New home device tested to shield kids from Mosquito-Borne viruses
NCT ID NCT05452447
Summary
This study tested whether a new, long-lasting mosquito repellent device placed inside homes could protect children from viruses spread by Aedes mosquitoes, like dengue. Nearly 7,000 children aged 4-16 in Sri Lanka participated. Households were randomly assigned to receive either the real repellent device or a look-alike placebo, and researchers tracked new virus infections over two years.
