Optimizing Insecticide Resources: Global Trends in Vector Control
Epidemiologic research suggests that persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment may contribute to the development of obesity and features of metabolic diseases, such as elevated triglyceride levels, glucose intolerance, and cardiovascular disease. POPs include dioxins and furans—with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) being the most potent of these—and polychlorinated biphe...
متن کاملInsecticide resistance and vector control.
Insecticide resistance has been a problem in all insect groups that serve as vectors of emerging diseases. Although mechanisms by which insecticides become less effective are similar across all vector taxa, each resistance problem is potentially unique and may involve a complex pattern of resistance foci. The main defense against resistance is close surveillance of the susceptibility of vector ...

a Department of Community Health, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. Correspondence to Myra Taylor (e-mail: [email protected]). doi:10.2471/BLT.08.058669 Schistosomiasis remains a global health problem in the 21st century with an estimated 200 million people in 74 countries infected, of whom 85% are living in sub-Saharan Africa.1 In 2001, at the 54th World Health Assembly, ev...
متن کاملUnderpinning Sustainable Vector Control through Informed Insecticide Resistance Management
BACKGROUND There has been rapid scale-up of malaria vector control in the last ten years. Both of the primary control strategies, long-lasting pyrethroid treated nets and indoor residual spraying, rely on the use of a limited number of insecticides. Insecticide resistance, as measured by bioassay, has rapidly increased in prevalence and has come to the forefront as an issue that needs to be add...
متن کاملGlobal Trends in the Use of Insecticides to Control Vector-Borne Diseases
BACKGROUND Data on insecticide use for vector control are essential for guiding pesticide management systems on judicious and appropriate use, resistance management, and reduction of risks to human health and the environment. OBJECTIVE We studied the global use and trends of insecticide use for control of vector-borne diseases for the period 2000 through 2009. METHODS A survey was distribut...
