Malaria and other vector-borne diseases contribute to the major disease burden in India. One of the methods to control these diseases is to control the vectors for the interruption of disease transmission. In the past, synthetic organic chemical insecticidesbased intervention measures for the control of insect pests and disease vectors have resulted in development of insecticide resistance in s...

Malaria is a major contributor to the global disease burden and a significant impediment to socio-economic development in resource-poor countries. In contrast to improved trends of malaria morbidity and mortality in some parts of the world, malaria has re‐ mained a life threatening disease in many other regions including East Africa because of factors such as weak health systems, growing drug a...

Mosquitoes are tiny insects that can serve as vectors for numerous infectious diseases like malaria. Malaria is considered one of the major causes mortality, loss productivity and a contributor poverty in African continent. In 2020, most global malaria cases (94%) were recorded Africa Region. Nigeria, about 97% estimated populations at risk malaria, with up to 27% 24% deaths respectively 2018. ...

Mesocyclopus scrassus is an insect predatory with environmentally favourable profile. Although malaria in control India, there a possible risk of spread from malarial infected people coming other endemic countries. The probability mosquito vectors several parts necessitates the identification effective and innovative methods. present study focused on identifying biological method for 3rd instar...

The interactions between predator diversity and primary consumer abundance can include direct effects and indirect, cascading effects. Understanding these effects on immature Anopheles mosquitoes is important in sub-Saharan Africa, where most cases of malaria occur. Aquatic predators and immature mosquitoes were collected from shallow pools of varying age previously excavated by brickmakers in ...

identification of host blood meal in haematophagous arthropods is an important element in their rule in transmission of vector borne diseases. the effects of post ingestion and physical conditions that killed mosquitoes are stored on the success of detecting blood meal dna of anopheles stephensi and culex quinquefasiatus was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification at the h...

the rational use of insecticides largely depends on a broad knowledge of the susceptibility and irritability levels of malaria vectors to currently used insecticides especially pyrethroids. in this study the susceptibility and irritability levels of anopheles stephensi and an.culicifacies to ddt 4%,malathion 5%, propoxur 0.1%, deltamethrin 0.025%, lambdacyhalothrin 0.1%, cyfluthrin 0.1% and per...

Most national malaria control programmes rely extensively on pyrethroid insecticides to control mosquito vectors of this disease. Unfortunately, the intensive use of this class of insecticides both in public health and agriculture has led to its reduced efficacy. The objective of this review was to assess the role of agricultural pesticides use on the development of resistance to insecticides i...

abstract malaria is still the number one killer especially among young children and is responsible for one death per minute in the world. overall,between 250-500 million cases of the disease occur worldwide causing more than one million deaths annually about 90% of which in children under five years of age. although the spread of the disease is worldwide but it is seen mostly in tropical and su...

background: the aims of this study was to analysis the current situation of malaria and to find the distribution of anopheline mosquitoes, as probable vectors of the disease, in qom province , central iran. methods: this study was carried out in two parts. first stage was data collection about malaria cases using recorded documents of patients in the province health center, during 2001–2008. th...
