Barrier Bednet (IMAGE) Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Caption Photo of a simple barrier bednet, in an experimental hut in SW Burkina Faso. This is a highly endemic malaria zone and the malaria vector mosquitoes are very resistant to currently used insecticide. The study showed that new insecticides could be applied to the vertical panel only, reducing the cost of a bednet and minimising safety concerns for those who sleep inside them."
