PermaNet® 3.0

Item Description:

PermaNet® 3.0 is the first long-lasting insecticide-synergist combination bed net. It’s the optimal choice for areas where mosquitoes have developed resistance to the insecticides used in standard bed nets.

Insecticide resistance has already been found in many countries. By 2012, 64 countries with ongoing malaria transmission reported resistance of malaria mosquitoes to at least one public health insecticide1. This poses a major threat to vector control programs.

PermaNet® 3.0 has been developed to address the urgent need for tools with increased efficacy against insecticide resistant malaria vectors. In October 2014, the World Health Organization’s Vector Control Advisory Group published its annual report which included an evaluation of the supporting evidence for Vestegaard’s product claim for PermaNet 3.0. The report noted that PermaNet 3.0 is a “first in class” and stated that “The manufacturers have been very careful to make a relatively modest claim that can be supported by the combined evidence from multiple studies in many areas of pyrethroid resistance.”
