There has been a renewed interest for larviciding during the recent decade. Although biological larvicides are considered not to be harmful non-target organisms, there is still sufficient data on effect of new long-lasting larvicide formulations such as VectoMax G combining Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis and Lysinibacullus sphaericus environment especially organisms. The present study aimed...

Mosquito control by pesticides remains the main intervention to reduce burden of mosquito nuisance and mosquito-borne diseases. In control, larviciding application environmentally friendly larvicides has been one routine operations. Larvicides based on microbial agents insect growth regulators (IGRs) account for most available products. Ones that are formulated using S-methoprene ranged from mi...

background: malaria is still a health problem in iran. there are several vector control activities, including indoor residual spraying, using insecticide treated nets and larviciding including temephos. in addition nuisance mosquitos are prevalent in the urban areas. so that evaluation of this species to larvicide will provide a clue for management of vector control activities. methods : two mo...

Techniques for the emergency control of adult Aedes aegypti populations and their development are reviewed. Larviciding and environmental measures provide only delayed control of adult populations. Large-scale field trials of the ultra-low volume application of insecticide concentrates in Southeast Asia, South America and Africa, using aerial, ground, vehicle-mounted and hand-carried equipment,...

There is growing of the effects of insecticide used controlling the vectors of human diseases. Manipulating or introducing an auto-reproducing predator into the ecosystem may provide sustained biological control of pest populations. The selection of a biological agent should be based on its self-replicating capacity, preference for the target pest population in the presence of alternate natural...

A study on the bio-environmental control of industrial malaria was launched at Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., the country's foremost industrial complex. Malaria was a serious problem on the campus of the complex and routine methods of malaria control by providing screened doors, larviciding, fogging, limited spraying in the unauthorized colonies and chemotherapy were not effective. The project ...

BACKGROUND Recently, essential oils and extracts derived from plants have received much interest as potential bio-active agents against mosquito vectors. METHODS The essential oils extract from fresh peel of ripe fruit of Citrus aurantium and Citrus paradisi were tested against mosquito vector Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae) under laboratory condition. Then chemical composition of th...

With the current existing, emerging, and resurging mosquito species mosquito-borne diseases, very low availability of control products, exploration novel active ingredients innovative formulations based on available are crucial to ensure sustainable interventions. The larviciding by applying biorational larvicides with microbial insect growth regulator origins is a routine practice in most area...

BACKGROUND Malaria still is considered as a public health problem in Iran. The aim of the National Malaria Control Department is to reach the elimination by 2024. By decreasing the number of malaria cases in preelimination phase the cost effectiveness of malaria interventions decreases considerably. This study estimated the cost effectiveness of various strategies to combat malaria in preelimin...
