Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention

Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) combined with pyrethroids in long‐lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to prevent malaria in Africa

This is not the most recent version

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

1. Evaluate whether adding PBO to pyrethroid LLINs increases the epidemiological and entomological effectiveness of the nets.

2. Compare the effects of PBO‐LLINs currently in commercial development or on the market with their non‐PBO equivalent in relation to:

a. malaria infection (prevalence or incidence);

b. entomological outcomes.
