Summary
Experimental-hut trial of a transfluthrin spatial repellent sheet against pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles.
Key findings
In a 24-hut, 32-night trial the transfluthrin-dosed sheet reduced human landings by 70% and blood-feeding by 69%, including against pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes.
Limitations
Single vector species at one Tanzanian site limits generalizability.
