Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The manuscript brings an important contribution to the standardization for durability monitoring of ITNs containing pyrethroid and a second AI. The possible approaches presented are frequently discussed by Malaria Control Programs Teams and the publication of this paper will contribute to improve quality of bioefficacy tests.
My only recommendation is to review abbreviations that are not spelled out in full in the first citation. See lines 82, 186, 647 and 651.
Author Response
The authors would like to thank the Reviewer for their kind words, and are very pleased to hear that they think this is a useful contribution.
We have checked the use of abbreviations throughout the manuscript, and corrected those specific examples highlighted.
Reviewer 2 Report
There have been very few times in my life when I have recommended acceptance as submitted. This is one of them. The authors seem to have covered all of the bases and every eventuality. I only hope that their suggestions fall on receptive ears.
Author Response
The authors would like to thank this Reviewer for their very kind words, and share their hope that this will be a useful resource for the community.
