[Feasibility of mosquito control using insecticide-impregnated bednets in rural areas of Cameroon].
The feasibility of using impregnated bednets in a malaria control strategy has been evaluated in a rural area of Cameroon. The benefit is well perceived by the population in terms of protection against nuisance but not in terms of prevention of the disease. The correct use of bednets is, however, unsatisfactory. The material should be adapted to the various sleeping accommodations, and efforts for education and information directed towards the potential users should be intensified.
