Laboratory evaluation of 3 repellents against Anopheles stephensi in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This study evaluated the repellency effect of 3 topical repellents (permethrin, DEET and neem tree extract) against 3-5 day old females of laboratory and field strains of Anopheles stephensi. Probing/biting rates on the shaved belly of white rabbits were counted. Effective dose (ED) 50 and ED95 values were calculated by probit statistic software. The results revealed ED50 values of 0.007, 0.005...
متن کاملSusceptibility of Anopheles stephensi against five current chemical insecticides
Introduction: Malaria is still an important health problem in southern Iran. Anopheles stephensi is one of the most important vectors of malaria, especially in urban areas. Because of long time of chemical insecticides against vectors in endemic areas and their potential resistance to such chemicals, it is necessary that vectors continuously to be assessed against susceptibility level. We...
متن کاملChrysosporium tropicum efficacy against Anopheles stephensi larvae in the laboratory.
The keratinophilic soil fungus Chrysosporium tropicum was evaluated as a biological control agent against Anopheles stephensi larvae in the laboratory. Culture filtrates of C. tropicum were found to be toxic to An. stephensi larvae at various concentrations. The ranges of the 50% lethal concentration (LC50) values of fungal filtrates were 16.60-17.78, 12.02-12.88, and 34.67-35.48 microl/ml agai...
متن کاملLaboratory Evaluation of Temephos against Anopheles stephensi and Culex pipiens Larvae in Iran
BACKGROUND Malaria is still a health problem in Iran. There are several vector control activities, including Indoor Residual spraying, using insecticide treated nets and larviciding including Temephos. In addition nuisance mosquitos are prevalent in the urban areas. So that evaluation of this species to larvicide will provide a clue for management of vector control activities. METHODS Two mos...
متن کاملChemical Composition and Repellent Activity of Achillea vermiculata and Satureja hortensis against Anopheles stephensi
BACKGROUND One of the best ways to control the malaria disease and to be protected human against Anopheles mosquito biting is the use of repellents. Throughout repellents, herbal ones may be an appropriate and safe source for protection. METHODS Chemical constituents of Achillea vermiculata and Satoreja hortensis were determined by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Efficacy and the ...
