Impregnated bednets can be considered a major tool for reducing Anopheles bites, malaria morbi dity and overall mortality. The resistance of Anopheles gambiae to pyrethroids used to impregnate bednets and curtains has already been noted in the urban area of Cotonou in Benin (18, 21). In this study, we wished to find out if the resistance observed in Cotonou is localized only in this town or is ...

the susceptibility of 5 wild strains of german cockroach collected from five infected flats in tehran were assessed by tests of surface contact method to cyfluthrin, permethrin, sumithrin and lambdacyhalothrin. comparison of the result of knockdown tests on the wild strains with a standard susceptible strain indicated that all the strains are resistant to sumithrin, i.e., resistance ratio, the ...

background: anopheles mosquitoes are an important group of arthropods due to their role in transmission of ma­laria. the present study was conducted for determination of susceptibility status of anopheles stephensi to different imagicides collected from malarious area in chabahar city, iran. methods: in the present study seven insecticides including: ddt 4%, lambdacyhalothrin 0.05%, deltamethri...

The efficacy of various pyrethroid insecticides for use on odour-baited targets to control tsetse was compared in Zimbabwe. Formulations were applied to cotton cloth and polyester net and, at various intervals, the materials were bioassayed by exposing fed female Glossina pallidipes (Austen) (Diptera: Glossinidae) to cloth for 45 s or by inducing them to collide briefly with net. Trial formulat...

BACKGROUND Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is widely used for malaria transmission control in sub-Saharan Africa. Resistance to pyrethroids in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae is a growing problem. There is an urgent need to develop long-lasting alternative insecticides to reduce selection pressure for pyrethroid resistance and to provide control with a single IRS application in countries with lon...
