A biological test to quantify pyrethroid in impregnated nets.
First instar larvae of Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) are very susceptible to deltamethrin, which kills all larvae at a very low dose (0.1 microg/l). Thus the sensitivity of this insect to detect that pyrethroid is in parts per billion, as obtained with most common chromatographic methods of analysis. Here we describe a biological test (BT) to quantify deltamethrin in long-lasting inse...
متن کاملStudy of irritant effect of permethrin impregnated nets on pyrethroid resistant and susceptible genotypes of the mosquito anopheles stephensi
pyrethroid-impregnated bednets have been shown to be one of the most promising tools that have emerged in recent years to control malaria.mosquito may be physically irritated by pyrethroid reducing the time searching for blood meals,or driving them away.permethrin impregnated nets also may deter a proportion of mosquitoes from entering houses.irritant effect of nets treated with 200 mg and 500...
متن کاملPyrethroid-impregnated bed nets in the malaria control strategy at community level.
As early as 1910 Ross recommended bed nets as a protection against infective bites of vector anophelines. Bed nets also provide an efficient protection against many other biting insects and are an element of comfort. But despite this protective effect they did not significantly decrease the risk of infection and of morbidity in highly endemic areas (Snow et al., 1988a). Impregnation of bed nets...
متن کاملA Small-Scale Field Trial of Pyriproxyfen-Impregnated Bed Nets against Pyrethroid-Resistant Anopheles gambiae s.s. in Western Kenya
Pyrethroid resistance is becoming a major problem for vector control programs, because at present, there are few suitable chemical substitutes for pyrethroids, as when used on bed nets the insecticide must have low mammalian toxicity as well as high activity to mosquitoes. Pyriproxyfen (PPF) is one of the most active chemicals among the juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) group. Sterilizing mosquitoes...
متن کاملResidual Effects of Permethrin Impregnated Bed Nets
The objective of this field trial was to assess the residual effectiveness of permethrin 10% treated mosquito nets on malaria control compared with untreated nets. The study was carried out between July and December 2007 in the Pong Nam Ron District of Chantaburi Province, Thailand. Mosquito population densities were assessed using the landing catch method. Mosquitoes were collected between 6:0...
