It is suspended in avegetable oil and spayed onto the black cloth. At present this works for about a month, butresearch is going on to extend this to three months. The researchers think that this is arelatively simple and cheap method that complements existing methods of malariaprevention and could be promoted in due time.IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre 57
