The concentration of the synergist piperonyl butoxide was 1.5 (95% CI: 1.0, 2.6), 2.6 (95% CI: 1.51, 4.4), and 2.0 (1.4, 2.9) times higher in households treating for ant/roaches, fleas/ticks in the home, and fleas/ticks on pets, respectively, compared to households that did not report such treatments.

In addition, if the CHWs' households treated drinking water in any way, we scored one.
Third, during the surveillance phase, we tested insects captured from households treated during the treatment phase for resistance to insecticide.
In households treated prophylactically there was an effect on symptomatic influenza (14.84%, 12.18% to 16.55%), but this was based on only two small studies including 824 participants.
Among households treated twice, estimated prevalence of infestation decreased from 35.6% before the treatment phase to 0.006% after the second treatment.
We extrapolated infestation prevalence before treatment in households treated only once by using the estimated sensitivity of the infestation detection (s) (Table 2).
At the end of the project, a survey showed that 84 per cent of targeted households treat water with chlorine and 72 per cent of mothers wash their hands together with their children before eating.
In addition, while there was a greater effect in households treated prophylactically, the evidence to support this was based on data from only two small studies involving 824 participants.
The average cost of dengue illness per patient ranged from 16.6 US$ [ 6] for children at primary school to 24 US$ per family in Thailand [ 7], from 31.5 US$ for households with children aged <15 years [ 10] to 32 US$ for households treated in public and private hospitals in Cambodia [ 8] and 61.3 US$ for children with dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Vietnam [ 9].
