	The long-term hope is to replace DDT currently used in IRS practice with more benign alternatives. Current results indicate that this may indeed be possible. A low-cost way of stabilizing WHO-approved insecticides was identified and proven in Phase I laboratory tests. A low cost net design was found that also passed Phase I WHO Laboratory testing. The IAM also forms part of the soon-to-be-established Centre for Sustainable Malaria Control. Research funding for future LLIN and IRS work will be sought from various sources. The current plan foresees three product offerings: A multifilament knitted polypropylene-based LLIN, a non-DDT IRS, and a low-cost Netlon type net for indoor wall use. We are currently meeting and negotiating with the IDC, Sasol ChemCity and Moznet, a local company interested in local production of LLIN’s. A proposal was submitted to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for Phase II & III field trials.		The long-term hope is to replace DDT currently used in IRS practice with more benign alternatives.
