The use of bacterial larvicides in mosquito and black fly control programmes in Brazil.
Bacillus spp. based larvicides are increasingly replacing, with numerous advantages, chemical insecticides in programmes for controlling black fly and mosquito populations. Brazil was among the pioneers in adopting Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (B.t.i) to control black flies. However, the major current mosquito control programme in Brazil, the Programme for Eradication of Aedes aegypti lau...
متن کاملLaboratory tests and practical evaluation of novel granule formulations containing BTI or methoprene developed for controlling mosquito and fly larvae
The residual activity of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (BTI) and methoprene, a juvenile hormone analogue (juvenoid) was assessed when their novel granule formulations, were tested on mosquito and fly larvae. BTI B 5 GR mos quito larvicide at 5 and 10 ppm (a.i.) gave 100% control against L4 larvae of Aedes aegypti for 4 and 12 weeks, respectively. Similar prolonged 16 weeks efficien...
متن کاملTrachoma and fly control.
Everybody is aware of the annoyance and irritation caused by flies as they buzz around food and crawl over skin. In trachoma endemic areas, flies are frequently seen clustering around the face and eyes of children where they feed on mucus and discharge (Fig.1). This association of flies with the faces of infected children has not gone unnoticed, and they have been considered as vectors of trach...
متن کاملMosquito Behaviour and Disease Control
Mosquitoes vector many important disease pathogens. Controls of mosquito-borne diseases often involve lowering the contact rate between human and vector, and killing the vector. For instance, long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) act on both of these levels. Unfortunately, these are at best short-term solutions as mosquitoes are known to exhibit resistance to these interventions. Physiological...
متن کاملMosquito behavior and vector control.
Effective indoor residual spraying against malaria vectors depends on whether mosquitoes rest indoors (i.e., endophilic behavior). This varies among species and is affected by insecticidal irritancy. Exophilic behavior has evolved in certain populations exposed to prolonged spraying programs. Optimum effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets presumably depends on vectors biting at hours when mo...
