@mbjunior I've seen it on vacation fairs, so I looked it up for you - what they call it is "contact insecticide" (a mosquito that lands on it dies): http://www.careplus.eu/en/anti-insect/impregnated-mosquitonets/ - this definitely fights malaria mosquitoes (and thus other disease-spreading mosquitoes) better than a regular net. "The long-lasting impregnation remains effective for up to three years." IMO the price is like health insurance - if you can afford it... but this same type of net is provided in areas in Africa: from what I read, the effect it has on mortality makes economic sense, so recipients don't have to pay for it.
