Dynamics of Forest Malaria Transmission in Balaghat District, Madhya Pradesh, India
BACKGROUND An epidemiological and entomological study was carried out in Balaghat district, Madhya Pradesh, India to understand the dynamics of forest malaria transmission in a difficult and hard to reach area where indoor residual spray and insecticide treated nets were used for vector control. METHODS This community based cross-sectional study was undertaken from January 2010 to December 20...
متن کاملDDT contamination from indoor residual spraying for malaria control.
The insecticide DDT is still used in specific areas of South Africa for indoor residual spray (IRS) to control malaria vectors. Local residents could be exposed to residues of DDT through various pathways including indoor air, dust, soil, food and water. The aims of this study were to determine the levels of DDT contamination, as a result of IRS, in representative homesteads, and to evaluate th...
متن کاملSusceptibility of malaria vectors to insecticides in Gumla district, Jharkhand state, India.
Development of resistance to DDT in malaria vectors is being reported from various parts of India. Jharkhand state in India is one of the high malaria endemic states with Plasmodium falciparum accounting for 44% of the cases1. In order to find out the rationale of using DDT in vector control, this study was carried out on insecticide susceptibility of malaria vectors in 12 endemic villages of s...
متن کاملResting behaviour of Anopheles stephensi type form to assess its amenability to control malaria through indoor residual spray.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In the present study, an attempt was made to find reasons of ineffectiveness of indoor residual spray to interrupt malaria transmission by investigating the behaviour of two variants of Anopheles stepnesi, viz. type form and mysorensis in rural areas of Rajasthan, India. METHODS Both low malarious (DDT spray from 1958 to 1976) and high malarious (DDT spray from 1958 to...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum-infected Anopheles stephensi inconsistently transmit malaria to humans.
Malaria was transmitted to only 5 of 10 volunteers bitten by 1-2 Anopheles stephensi carrying sporozoites of the 3D7 clone of the NF54 strain of Plasmodium falciparum in their salivary glands. Parasites were detectable by culture in blood taken 7-10 days following exposure and by thick blood film 14-16.5 days after exposure. Infectivity did not correlate with the numbers of sporozoites in the s...
