Monitoring Pyrethroid Insecticide Resistance in Major Malaria Vector Anopheles culicifacies: Comparison of Molecular Tools and Conventional Susceptibility Test
<Anopheles culicifacies is a main malaria vector in southeastern part of Iran, bordring Afghanistan and Pakistan. So far, resistance to DDT, dieldrin, malathion and partial tolerance to pyrethroids has been reported in An. stephensi, but nothing confirmed on resistance status of An. culicifacies in Iran. Methods: In current study, along with WHO routine susceptibility test with DDT (4%), di...
متن کاملChanges in Haemoglobin Values and Hepatosplenomegaly Produced by Control of Holoendemic Malaria.
In many parts of the tropics the mean haemoglobin values of rural populations are very much lower than the values accepted as normal elsewhere. For example, among Bougainville Islanders Cotter et al. (1958) found means of 13.09 and 11.97 g./100 ml. for adult males and females respectively. They suggested controlled experiments were needed to assess the relative importance of each individual fac...
متن کاملStatus of Indoor Residual Spraying by Deltamethrin in Malaria Elimination Program, Southeastern Iran
ABSTRACT Background: Iran is one of the countries implementing indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria control. Deltamethrin (DLT) is one of the insecticides recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) for this program. IRS is currently performed in Sistan and Baluchistan province as an area with unstable malaria situation and the highest prevalence of malaria in the country. DLT has ...
متن کاملEstimating the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection from trials of indoor residual spraying.
We reviewed the use of simple mathematical models to estimate the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection after transmission has been interrupted. We then fit an exponential decay model to repeated cross-sectional survey data collected from three historical trials of indoor residual spraying against malaria: one from two contiguous districts in Tanzania-Kenya (Pare Taveta) carried out in 19...
متن کاملA New Classification System for the Actions of IRS Chemicals Traditionally Used For Malaria Control
Knowledge of how mosquitoes respond to insecticides is of paramount importance in understanding how an insecticide functions to prevent disease transmission. A suite of laboratory assays was used to quantitatively characterize mosquito responses to toxic, contact irritant, and non-contact spatial repellent actions of standard insecticides. Highly replicated tests of these compounds over a range...
