Competing Interests
While this study was independently funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, two of the authors have received funding support for other research projects from manufacturers of insecticidal public health products: Vestergaard Frandsen SA (GFK), Syngenta (SJM), Pinnacle Development (SJM) and SC Johnson (SJM). This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
