Abstract
The study present result of long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) of different mesh sizes viz. PermaNet(R) 156Â mesh/inch2, PermaNet(R) 196Â mesh/inch2, PermaNet(R) 196Â mesh/inch2Â +Â 75Â cm border of fine cloth in reducing Phlebotomus argentipes population along with community acceptance in three intervention villages. Entire experimental period of treatments maximum reduction 93.67% was observed in PermaNet(R) 196Â mesh/inch2Â +Â 75Â cm border followed by PermaNet(R) 196Â mesh/inch2 91.90 and 74.29% in PermaNet(R)156Â mesh/inch2, when compared to control all the LLINs were showed significant reduction of P. argentipes population while compare to between them there was no significant difference. The significant reduction in gravid P. argentipes, was recorded as 71.87, 87.92 and 91.27%, in PermaNet(R) 156Â mesh/inch2, PermaNet(R) 196Â mesh/inch2 and PermaNet(R) 196Â mesh/inch2Â +Â 75cm, respectively. The preference was high for PermaNet(R) 156Â mesh/inch2 without any side effect of LLINs.
