Guidelines for monitoring the durability of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets under operational conditions
The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist national vector-borne disease control programmes, and other relevant agencies, in monitoring the durability of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LNs) under operational conditions. The information derived by monitoring will be useful in planning the replacement of worn-out nets in an LN programme, making decisions to procure the most suitable LNs for the setting and understanding the factors associated with the durability of LN products.

Field testing and evaluation of insecticides for indoor residual spraying against Chagas vectors
The document outlines the general procedures for field trials of residual insecticides against domestic Triatominae, where the aim is to eliminate the domestic bug populations and inhibit reinfestations. The procedure is suitable for village-scale field trials, whose toxicological safety has already been approved. The procedure also allows for multiple village trials in order to compare the effects of different products, or different formulations of the same product, or different doses of the same formulation.

Generic risk assessment model for indoor and outdoor space spraying of insecticides — First Revision
This document provides a generic model that can be used for risk assessment of exposure to insecticide products applied as space treatment, both indoors and outdoors, against flying insect vectors and pests of public health importance. It aims to harmonize the risk assessment of such insecticides for public health use. Ref: WHO/HTM/NTD/WHOPES/2010.6.Rev1 (web only)
Generic risk assessment model for indoor residual spraying of insecticides — First Revision
This document provides a generic model that can be used for risk assessment of exposure to insecticide products applied as indoor residual sprays. It aims to harmonize the risk assessment of such insecticides for public health use in order to generate comparable data for their registering and labelling by national regulatory authorities.

A generic risk assessment model for insecticide treatment of mosquito nets and their subsequent use
The model proposed covers the assessment of any risks to those treating bednets with insecticide in a domestic setting (operators) and to those sleeping under insecticide-treated bednets (users). While it is recognized that there is an increasing interest in the commercial production of pre-treated bednets, the generic model proposed is for the simplest situation of domestic treatment and use of nets and does not include the special situation of commercial production of nets in a factory environment.
