Declarations
:
: No human participants were directly involved in the study, and no biological samples were collected. However, oral informed consent was obtained from community members for their participation in the community acceptance survey, which was conducted prior to the commencement of the study. The study protocol was reviewed by the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) and was granted a waiver by the ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, New Delhi. The research involved the use of three formulations of Natular larvicide, which were applied exclusively in non-potable water habitats. Given the nature of the intervention in selected water habitats, an IEC waiver was considered appropriate.
