A promising role of Insecticide Treated Bed-Nets (ITNs) against Malaria: A way forward.

Malaria is both preventable and treatable yet the disease has continued to cause high death tolls annually. This picture is eminent in low income countries of the world where the disease is endemic although close to half of the world’s population is at risk. To date, malaria is still one of the most...
