A factory-based method for permethrin impregnation of clothing that provides long-lasting insecticidal and repellent activity is commercially available,...
متن کاملMitigating Diseases Transmitted by Aedes Mosquitoes: A Cluster-Randomised Trial of Permethrin-Impregnated School Uniforms
BACKGROUND Viral diseases transmitted via Aedes mosquitoes are on the rise, such as Zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Novel tools to mitigate Aedes mosquitoes-transmitted diseases are urgently needed. We tested whether commercially insecticide-impregnated school uniforms can reduce dengue incidence in school children. METHODS We designed a cluster-randomised controlled trial in Thailand. The pri...
متن کاملContact toxicity of permethrin-impregnated military uniforms to Culex pipiens (Diptera:Culicidae) and Phlebotomus papatasi (Diptera: Psychodidae): effects of laundering and time of exposure.
The effects of laundering and time of exposure on the insecticidal activity of military uniform fabric impregnated with permethrin at 0.125 mg active ingredient (AI)/cm2 are reported from susceptibility tests with laboratory-reared mosquitoes, Culex pipiens, and sand flies, Phlebotomus papatasi. Knockdown/mortality resulting from exposure of groups of female insects for periods of 1, 3, 5, 7, a...
متن کاملEfficacy of Permethrin-Impregnated Uniforms in the Prevention of Cutaneous Leishmania-sis in Iranian Soldiers
Background: One approach for prevention of cutaneous leishmaniasis is creation of a barrier between the insect vector (phlebotomus) and the host. Many, but not all, researchers claim that permethrin-impregnated uniforms are effective for prevention of cutaneous leishmaniasis. We determined the efficacy of permethrin-impregnated uniforms for prevention of cutaneous leishmaniasis among Iranian ...
متن کاملField bioassays of permethrin-treated uniforms and a new extended duration repellent against mosquitoes in Pakistan.
Field bioassays were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment combinations of permethrin-impregnated clothing and a new extended duration repellent formulation of deet against natural populations of mosquitoes in Islamabad, Pakistan. Tests were initiated 2-2 1/2 hours prior to sunset and volunteers who wore the topical repellent applied it 8 hours earlier. The most effecti...
