Effect of LLIN insecticide type on PCR-positive malaria. LLINs were categorized by type of insecticide based on brand name as follows: deltamethrin (PermaNet, Yorkool LN, Lifenet, Serena, Netprotect); permethrin (Olyset); alpha-cypermethrin (Duranet, Magnet, Interceptor); or LLIN brand not specified. a Crude and adjusted (for age in months, housing index, maternal education, and altitude) odds ratios are presented by individual use of each LLIN type (versus no LLIN). Only deltamethrin-treated LLINs significantly reduced the odds of PCR-positive malaria in both the crude and adjusted models. b Number of subjects using each type of net and prevalence of malaria among them
