bITN use was recorded weekly (starting from week 5) during the regular follow-up visits to households. Participants were asked if they slept under a ITN the night before the visit. Use fraction was calculated as the number of nights reportedly sleeping under a ITN divided by the total number of nights asked. During week 48, there was a net distribution campaign in the Kebele thus the follow-up period was split at this point. For those with P. vivax infection, ITN use fraction was calculated only for weeks prior to infection
