A field trial of expanded polystyrene balls for the control of Culex mosquitoes breeding in pit latrines.
wHo 1984). Mosquito-infested latrines present a difficult control problem. Conventional methods, using insecticides or larvicidal oils, have given good results, but are expensive, require frequent application on a routine basis, and may be hampered by problems of resistance (World Health Organization 1984). As an alternative, Reiter (1978) suggested that a layer of expanded polystyrene balls (E...
متن کاملImplication of expanded polystyrene and shredded waste polystyrene to control Anopheles spp, Bandar Abbas and Chabahar, Iran
Introduction: Due to insecticide resistance, environmental pollution and difficulty in biological control, usage of conventional larval control measures are not applicable in mosquito breeding places. As part of Integrated Vector Management program, we aimed to asses the effectiveness of two polystyrene beads types for Anopheles spp larvae control under laboratory, semi-field and field cond...
متن کاملField efficacy of expanded polystyrene and shredded waste polystyrene beads for mosquito control in artificial pools and field trials, Islamic Republic of Iran.

This study compared the effectiveness of 2 different types of polystyrene beads for control of mosquito larvae in south-east Islamic Republic of Iran. Simulated field trials were done in artificial pools and field trials were carried out in 2 villages in an indigenous malaria area ...
متن کاملPotential use of scrap expanded polystyrene beads for the control of Aedes triseriatus.
The potential use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads for control of Aedes triseriatus was tested in the laboratory and the field. Laboratory studies showed that beads present in amounts which persisted throughout a season significantly reduced the emergence of Ae. triseriatus adults by preventing normal eclosion from the pupae. In the field, tree holes containing EPS beads had significantly fe...
متن کاملExpanded polystyrene (EPS) floats for surveillance of Ochlerotatus japonicus.
Blocks of expanded polystyrene (EPS) were placed in a variety of habitats to investigate their potential as an egg-collection device for container-dwelling Aedes and Ochlerotatus species. Eggs from Ochlerotatus japonicus, Oc. triseriatus, Oc. hendersoni, and Aedes albopictus were collected with EPS floats. The float provides an inexpensive, low-maintenance alternative to the Centers for Disease...
