Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Malaria attacks rates among the volunteers in each intervention arm. The malaria attack in each subject will be checked weekly by performing blood smear. Subjects found malaria positive will be dropped from the study[Every week during the intervention];Malaria vector abundance, human blood indices, parity rates, sporozoites rate and spatial repellent action. This entomologic parameter will be monitored by Human landing Catch (HLC), larval collection, blood meal, and resting collection.[Every 2nd week during the intervention]
