Declarations of interest

JP has no known conflicts of interest.
LC has no known conflicts of interest.
DM is employed by the Innovative Vector Control Consortium (IVCC). The title of the review is related to the use of insecticide applications for malaria vector control. The IVCC as an organization has a programme of working with industry on the development of novel insecticides and other vector control tools. IVCC has no current programmes specifically related to the development of space spray insecticides but one project related to their use in a malaria transmission setting.

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
