All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.Study siteThe laboratory experiments on regeneration and wash resistance were conducted at the KCMUCo-PAMVERC Insecticide Testing Facility; while experimental hut study was carried out at Harusini, the facility’s field site located at Mabogini village (S03˚22.764’ E03˚720.793’), adjacent to Lower Moshi rice irrigation scheme in north-eastern Tanzania. The dominant vector at this site is An. arabiensis with moderate level of resistance to pyrethroids conferred by both oxidase and esterase activities32. In this study, pyrethroid-resistant laboratory reared An. gambiae Muleba-Kis mosquitoes were released into the huts for the release-recapture experiment.Test systemsNon-blood fed, 2–5 day old females of susceptible An. gambiae s.s. Kisumu strain and pyrethroid resistant An. gambiae s.s Muleba-Kis strain were used for the evaluation of efficacy in the laboratory (phase I). The Muleba-Kis strain has been colonized for more than 8 years and it is resistant to permethrin with fixed L1014S kdr frequency and metabolic resistance through increased oxidase activity has also been reported21. Only An. gambiae s.s Muleba-Kis were used in release-recapture experiments. The Kisumu strain is fully susceptible to insecticides and free of any detectable insecticide resistance mechanisms. The strain originated from Kisumu, Kenya and has been colonized for many years in laboratory. At the KCMUCo-PAMVERC Moshi insectary, the adult Kisumu strain mosquitoes are reared at a temperature of 24–27 °C, 75 ± 10% relative humidity (RH) and maintained under a dark:light regime of 12:12 h. The Muleba-Kis mosquitoes used for the release-recapture experiments were reared in the field insectary under ambient temperature and relative humidity and treated as previously explained21. The susceptibility status of these colonies is checked every three months using WHO susceptibility test33 and, CDC bottle bioassay test34. The colonies are regularly genotyped for kdr mutations using TaqMan assays35. To maintain the resistance of Muleba-Kis, larvae are frequently selected with alpha-cypermethrin.Regeneration timeTo determine the regeneration time of the insecticide-treated blankets, blankets were cut into 25 × 25 cm pieces and tested before washing and then washed and dried three times consecutively following WHO recommended procedures for LLINs36. The pieces were then re-tested after one, two, three, six and seven days post-washing using WHO cylinders against susceptible An. gambiae s.s (Kisumu).Graphs for 24-h mortality and 60 min knock down (KD) correlating to insecticide bioavailability, as measured by 3 min exposure in cylinder bioassays, were established before and after washing blanket pieces three times consecutively in a day, and tested within a maximum of seven days post-washing. The time in days required to reach initial mortality or 60 min KD plateau is the period required for full regeneration of insecticide-treated blanket.Wash resistanceWHO cylinder bioassays36 were used to assess the wash resistance for the blanket pieces washed 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 times at the intervals equivalent to the regeneration time. Four pieces cut from 4 permethrin and 4 untreated blankets were used as positive and negative control respectively, against 4 pieces cut from 4 PBO–permethrin blankets.Bioassay proceduresFive, non-blood fed, 2–5 day old An. gambiae Kisumu or An. gambiae Muleba-Kis mosquitoes were exposed for 3 min or 30 min to blanket pieces in WHO cylinder. Bioassays were carried out at 27 ± 2 °C and 75 ± 10% RH. Knock-down was scored after 60 min post-exposure and mortality after 24 h. Fifty mosquitoes (5 mosquitoes per cylinder) were used on each 25 × 25 cm piece of blanket sample. After exposure, the mosquitoes were held for 24 h with access to 10% glucose solution in the paper cups covered with a net material. Mosquitoes exposed to untreated blanket were referred as a negative control.WHO tunnel test methodBlanket pieces which recorded ≤ 80% mortality in cylinder bioassay were tested in the tunnel assay using WHO guidelines. The tunnel was made of an acrylic square cylinder (25 cm in height, 25 cm in width, and 60 cm in length) divided into two sections using a blanket-covered frame fitted into a slot across the tunnel. During the assays a guinea pig was held in a small wooden cage (as a bait) in one of the sections and 50, non-blood fed, female An. gambiae Kisumu or An. gambiae Muleba-Kis aged 5–8 days were released in the other section at dusk and left overnight (13 h) for experimentation at 27 ± 2 °C and 75 ± 10% RH. The blanket surface was deliberately holed (nine 1-cm holes) to allow mosquitoes to contact the blanket material and penetrate to the baited chamber. Treated blankets were tested concurrently together with an untreated blanket. Scoring for the numbers of mosquitoes found alive or dead, fed or unfed, in each section were done in the morning. Mosquitoes found alive were removed and held in paper cups with labels corresponding to each tunnel sections under controlled conditions (25–27 °C and 75–85% RH) and fed on 10% glucose solution to monitor for delayed mortality post exposurely. Outcomes recorded were: mosquito penetration, blood feeding and mortality.Washing of blankets and whole nets for hut trialBlankets and whole nets were separately washed following WHOPES guidelines. In brief, each blanket/net was washed in Savon de Marseilles soap solution (2 g/L) for 10 min: 3 min stirring, 4 min soaking, then another 3 min stirring. This was followed by 2 rinse cycles of the same duration with water only. The water pH was 6 for all washes. The mean water hardness was within the WHOPES limit of ≤ 89 ppm. All nets used in the experimental hut study were cut with holes (4 cm × 4 cm) to simulate the conditions of a torn net. While nets were washed 20 times as per guidelines, blankets were only washed 10 times. To simulate a situation in emergence situations where washing is less frequent due to water scarcity30,31.Experimental hut trial:experimental hut designExperimental hut study was done in Lower Moshi using typical East African experimental huts design as described in the WHOPES35. Huts were constructed with brick walls and featured with cement plaster on the inside and a ceiling board, a metal iron sheet roof, open eaves with window and veranda traps on each side and window traps. Slight modifications from the original structure were made by installing metal eave baffles on two sides. The baffles allow mosquito entry but prevent exits. The window traps were used to collect mosquitoes that tend to exit the huts.Test item labelling, washing and perforatingBoth blankets and LLINs for the trial were distinctively labelled with fabric labels that withstand washes. For wash resistance, the blankets and nets were separately washed according to a protocol adapted from the standard WHO washing procedure36 at the interval equivalent to the regeneration time established in the laboratory for blanket and LLIN respectively. Before testing in the experimental huts, all nets were deliberately holed i.e. 30 holes measuring 4 × 4 cm were made in each net, 9 holes in each of the long side panels, and 6 holes at each short side (head- and foot-side panels) to enhance blood-feeding on the control arm.Test items packagingEach blanket and net were sealed in a plastic bag and then packed in the large plastic container. Each container was labelled for a single treatment to avoid cross contamination between test items.Experimental hut decontaminationA cone assay with 10 susceptible mosquitoes was performed on one wall per hut to rule out any contamination of the wall surface. Only huts with 24 h mortality of susceptible mosquitoes  More

Correction to: Communications Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-1022-1, published online 11 June 2020.In the original version of the Perspective, a unit conversion error affected calculations for cereal rye, triticale, barley, and oats.
