Pyrethrum: A Mixture of Natural Pyrethrins Has Potential for Malaria Vector Control

Determination of Pyrethrins in Pyrethrum Oil Extracts by UHPLC with Charged Aerosol Detection

Pyrethrins are terpenoid esters derived from the flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium. The pyrethrin family includes six similar compounds containing a cyclopropane core, named pyrethrin 1 and 2, cinerin 1 and 2 and jasmolin 1 and 2. Pyrethrins both repel and kill insects by delaying the closure of voltage-gated sodium ion channels in the nerve cells. The insecticidal and insect repellent p...

A Research Agenda for Malaria Eradication: Vector Control

Different challenges are presented by the variety of malaria transmission environments present in the world today. In each setting, improved control for reduction of morbidity is a necessary first step towards the long-range goal of malaria eradication and a priority for regions where the disease burden is high. For many geographic areas where transmission rates are low to moderate, sustained a...
