Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for conduct of the experimental hut trial and withdrawal of the field-aged nets was obtained from the ethics review boards of the Ministry of Health in Benin (No.6/30/MS/DC/DRFMT/CNERS/SA), the institutional review board of LSHTM (No.16,237) and the WHO Research Ethics Review Committee (ERC.0003153). Informed written consent was obtained from all human volunteers before their participation. All volunteers were offered a free course of chemoprophylaxis to mitigate the risk of malaria infection, and a stand-by nurse was available throughout the trials to assess any volunteers presenting with febrile symptoms or an adverse reaction to the test items. The methods described in this paper followed relevant guidelines and regulations. Approval for using guinea pigs for tunnel tests was granted by LSHTM Animal Welfare Ethics Review Board (AWERB) (2020-01B).
