PermaNet®
A portfolio of proven long-lasting protection for malaria control
The most cost-effective tool against malaria
For more than two decades, PermaNet long-lasting insecticide-treated nets have played a central role in protecting lives against malaria. Designed for malaria elimination, our market-leading PermaNet portfolio continues to expand to address the challenges of insecticide resistance. We are the only manufacturer to use soft polyester in our complete portfolio, favoured by many users over “stiffer” polyethylene nets.
PermaNet® Dual: state-of-the-art malaria protection
Our first dual active-ingredient net, PermaNet Dual is part of the latest generation of malaria control, combining two insecticides with different modes of action for superior efficacy in areas of high insecticide resistance.
In PermaNet Dual, deltamethrin (a pyrethroid) disrupts the mosquito’s nervous system, while chlorfenapyr (a pyrrole) disrupts mosquito energy production, killing even highly resistant mosquitoes.
Key features of PermaNet Dual
Pyrethroid–chlorfenapyr nets are the only class of nets with a strong recommendation from the World Health Organization for use in areas of high insecticide resistance
Data suggest pyrethroid–chlorfenapyr nets can reduce malaria cases by up to 75% across 3 years of consistent use
Fastest manufacturing scale up in recent history to meet exceptional country demand
PermaNet Dual was prequalified by the World Health Organization in March 2023
PermaNet® 3.0: the first net to fight insecticide resistance
Rising resistance to standard pyrethroid insecticide threatens malaria control gains. PermaNet 3.0 was developed to boost deltamethrin efficacy by adding a synergist called piperonyl butoxide (PBO).
Key features of PermaNet 3.0
Backed by 10 years of research, PermaNet 3.0 technology ensures bioavailability of PBO and deltamethrin on the fabric surface over its 3-year lifespan
Studies showed the addition of PBO resulted in a 20% greater reduction in malaria cases compared with standard pyrethroid-only nets
PermaNet 3.0 was prequalified by the World Health Organization in January 2018 (converted from WHOPES)
PermaNet® 2.0: the most-tested long-lasting insecticide-treated net in the world
PermaNet 2.0 is our first long-lasting insecticide-treated net, eliminating the need for frequent insecticide retreatment. Its deltamethrin formulation helped halve malaria reduction across Africa and Asia.
Key features of PermaNet 2.0
The first to be distributed at scale, PermaNet 2.0 remains the most widely tested and distributed long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito net
Widely used in national distribution campaigns
PermaNet 2.0 was prequalified by the World Health Organization in December 2017 (converted from WHOPES)
