Efficacy and community-effectiveness of insecticide treated nets for the control of visceral leishmaniasis: A systematic review. by Carlos Alberto Montenegro-Quiñonez, Claudia Buhler, Olaf Horstick, Silvia Runge-Ranzinger, Kazi Mizanur Rahman

“…Some studies also showed that killing of sandflies may not translate into reduction of VL, therefore sandfly knock down and killing data needs to be interpreted with caution. Conclusions of this review are (1) combining insecticide impregnated bednets, as targeted interventions, with another vector control measure, particularly indoor residual spraying, and in conjunction with case detection, could be the way forward to controlling VL in resource limited settings. (2) Given the current low incidence of VL in SEA, it can be difficult to further research the community effectiveness of those control measures in reducing VL.…”
