New bed nets take on mosquito resistance in malaria battle
NCT ID NCT05796193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares two new types of insecticide-treated bed nets against standard nets to see if they better prevent malaria in children aged 6 months to 10 years in central Côte d'Ivoire. About 1,650 people are taking part across multiple villages. The new nets contain either a chemical booster (PBO) or a second insecticide (chlorfenapyr) to overcome mosquito resistance. The study also looks at infection rates in all ages and mosquito numbers over three years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Insecticide-treated bed nets (Veeralin with alpha-cypermethrin and PBO, Interceptor G2 with alpha-cypermethrin and chlorfenapyr, or standard alpha-cypermethrin-only nets)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these next-generation nets could provide better protection against malaria in areas where mosquitoes are resistant to standard insecticides, helping to keep malaria control on track.
- What could go wrong
- This is a field trial in one region of Côte d'Ivoire, and results may not apply everywhere. Mosquito resistance can change over time, and the nets' effectiveness may decrease with wear and tear.
