Evaluation of different LLINs with varied insecticides and fabrics are being evaluated to meet the demand of new products. This study was undertaken on two brands of LLINs, DuraNet\u00a9 and Interceptor\u00ae that varied in fabric and manufacturing technologies to assess the usability in field conditions for atleast three years.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n In large-scale field trials DuraNet\u00a9, alpha cypermethrin incorporated polyethylene net, was evaluated in Odisha state while, Interceptor\u00ae net, alpha cypermethrin coated polyester net was evaluated in Chhattisgarh and Gujarat states for a period of three years following WHO guidelines. Durability, usage pattern and washing behavior were monitored through periodic surveys and physical examination of nets.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results:<\/jats:italic>\n Survivorship of both the nets was 84\u2013100% and every night usage rate was >62% in all seasons. Washing frequency was largely within the prescribed limits. The proportion of DuraNet\u00a9 with holes was 26.7% in year one 74% in year three. In Gujarat, proportion of Interceptor\u00ae nets with holes at six months was 33.3% increased to 87% in year three and in Chhattisgarh, 6.7% after six months to 93.3% after three years of use respectively.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Interpretation & conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n Both the nets revealed a useful life of three years under the field condition\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0972-9062.328974","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,21]],"date-time":"2022-12-21T01:17:15Z","timestamp":1671585435000},"page":"219-227","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Durability, household usage and washing pattern of DuraNet\u00a9 and Interceptor\u00ae long-lasting insecticidal nets in long-term field trials in India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"SK","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RS","family":"Yadav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"HC","family":"Srivastava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RM","family":"Bhatt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"CS","family":"Pant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MA","family":"Haque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"U","family":"Sreehari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Raghavendra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R5-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1186\/s12936-015-0640-4","article-title":"Field durability of the same type of long-lasting insecticidal net varies between regions in Nigeria due to differences in household behaviour and living conditions","volume":"14","author":"Kilian","year":"2015","journal-title":"Malar J"},{"key":"R6-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"884","DOI":"10.1603\/0022-2585(2006)43[884:WRABOO]2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Wash-resistance and bio-efficacy of OlysetTM nets \u2013 a long lasting insecticide treated mosquito net against malaria vectors and non-target house-hold pests","volume":"43","author":"Sharma","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Med Entomol"},{"key":"R7-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actatropica.2009.07.022","article-title":"Efficacy of permethrin treated long- lasting insecticidal nets on malaria transmission and observations on the perceived side effects, collateral benefits and human safety in a hyperendemic tribal area of Orissa, India","volume":"112","author":"Sharma","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Trop"},{"key":"R8-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actatropica.2010.05.002","article-title":"Wash-resistance and field evaluation of alphacy- permethrin treated long-lasting insecticidal net (Interceptor\u00ae) against malaria vectors Anopheles culicifacies and Anopheles fluviatilis in a tribal area of Orissa, India","volume":"116","author":"Sharma","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Trop"},{"key":"R11-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"917","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trstmh.2006.01.007","article-title":"Epidemiology of malaria transmission in forest and plain ecotype villages in Sundargarh District, Orissa, India","volume":"100","author":"Sharma","year":"2006","journal-title":"Trans R Soc Trop Med"},{"key":"R12-6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e49604","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0049604","article-title":"Are long-lasting insecticidal nets effective for preventing childhood deaths among non-net users?
