Like bombs scudding across the water surface to hit a battleship, malaria-vector mosquitoes bounce across the top of as they probe for entry. With this knowledge — and with insecticide resistance compromising the effectiveness of insecticide-treated bednets—UK scientists have created the “Barrier Bednet” design. The simple design dangles a sheet of insecticide-treated netting vertically, like a tennis net, above the existing bednet. Because it's out of reach of people, the top netting can be treated with stronger insecticides than the rest of the bednet. They showed the design to be effective against wild Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in field tests in Burkina Faso.

研究摘要。

就像炸弹冲过水面撞到一艘战舰一样，疟疾媒介蚊子在探测进入时在其顶部弹跳。有了这些知识，再加上对杀虫剂的抗性削弱了经过杀虫剂处理的蚊帐的有效性，英国科学家创造了“屏障蚊帐”设计。这种简单的设计将一块经过杀虫剂处理的网垂直悬挂在现有的蚊帐上方，就像网球网一样。因为它无法触及人，所以与其他蚊帐相比，可以用更强的杀虫剂处理顶部蚊帐。他们在布基纳法索的现场测试中证明了该设计对野生冈比亚按蚊是有效的。
