简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a new spatial repellent (called Mesh) at repelling multiple disease vectors and, reducing clinical malaria rates in temporary shelters and camp settings. The design of the study will be a two-armed cluster randomised trial.
By conducting the research in challenging camp settings in the north of Nigeria, the MENTOR Initiative aims to determine whether Mesh can be effective in harsh camp conditions where communities are living in conflict area temporary shelters.

结局指标
主要结局
epidemiological outcome: malaria incidence
时间窗: 7 months
Malaria incidence will be estimated as the total number of malaria episodes per person over the course of the trial.
entomological outcome: vector density
时间窗: 7 months
the relative infestation rate of disease vectors (females of any of Anopheles malaria vectors, Aedes aegypti, or phlebotomine sand flies
次要结局
- feasibility, acceptance and uptake of Mesh(7 months)
