N2 - OBJECTIVE: To test the effectiveness of large scale distribution of longlasting nets treated with insecticide in reducing the incidence of visceral leishmaniasis in India and Nepal. Design Paired cluster randomised controlled trial designed to detect a 50% reduction in incidence of Leishmania donovani infection. Setting Villages in Muzaffarpur district in India and Saptari, Sunsari, and Morang districts in Nepal. Participants 13 intervention and 13 control clusters. 12 691 people were included in the analysis of the main outcome (infection), and 19 810 were enrolled for the secondary (disease) end point. Intervention Longlasting insecticidal nets (treated with deltamethrin) were distributed in the intervention clusters in December 2006. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Infection was determined by direct agglutination test at 12 and 24 months after the intervention in those who had negative results (titre
