LLIN integrity and waning insecticidal effects.
Top row: Graphs showing the relationship between Rc (left) and vector population size (right) and LLIN coverage for good condition nets (6 holes: solid, blue; 6 holes plus 50% larvicides: dashed, yellow) and poor condition nets (80 holes: dot-dashed, blue; 80 holes plus 50% larvicides: dotted, yellow). Bottom row: Graphs showing changes in Rc and vector population size over time due to waning insecticidal efficacy with an assumed half life of 2 years, for LLINs only (solid, blue) and LLINs with 50% larvicides (dashed, yellow). All results for a mid-to-high transmission setting (R0 = 60).
