PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For additional protection, treat the mosquito net with the insecticide permethrin. Spray an insecticide or repellent on clothing, as mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing.

Detailed explanation-2: -11.1. All mosquito nets act as a physical barrier, preventing bites by vector mosquitoes and thus providing personal protection against malaria to the individual(s) using the nets. In addition, ITNs can kill or disable mosquitoes by contact with the insecticide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each net costs about $2.00, lasts for 3 to 4 years, and protects on average two people. The statistics are well known given the scale of the problem. Every  600 nets we put over heads and beds, one child doesn’t die and 500 to 1, 000 cases of malaria are prevented.

Detailed explanation-4: -Use an EPA-registered insect repellent. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Treat clothing and gear with permethrin. Keep mosquitoes out of your hotel room or lodging. Sleep under a mosquito net.
