Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for the cross-sectional evaluation of Olyset® Nets was obtained from the Manhiça Health Research Center Institutional Bioethics Committee for Health (CIBS-CISM/068/2015). Study participants (≥ 15 years old) were informed about the purpose of the study in the local language (Shangana or Portuguese) using a written script that contained information on the study objectives, study risks and benefits, highlighting their right to withdraw from the study at any time during the study. Participants were enrolled when written informed consent was provided. The LLIN that was collected in each household was replaced by a new WHO-approved LLIN. All human data were de-identified to protect individual identity.
