A figure that shows the seriousness of the problem is the large number of infested cities in the country. Data provided by State Departments of Health shows that in just over a decade (1996-2009), there was a significant increase in the number of cities infested, from 1,753 cities in 1996 to just ...
متن کاملMalathion resistance in Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus after its use in Aedes aegypti control programs.
The continued widespread use of malathion in Aedes aegypti control programs in Latin America has generated insecticide resistance to this chemical in Culex quinquefasciatus but not in Ae. aegypti. To determine the extent of this resistance, the susceptibility of Cx. quinquefasciatus and Ae. aegypti from several countries to malathion was evaluated. Bioassay results indicated that all Ae. aegypt...
