Experimental aerial spraying with ultra-low-volume (ULV) malathion to control Aedes aegypti in Buga, Colombia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been shown that aerial applications of malathion have been effective in controlling Aedes ae.gpti in urban areas of Thailand (l-3) and Indonesia (4). Aerial applications of malathion have also been made in the Bahamas and Jamaica during the Caribbean dengue epidemic of 1977 (5) and additional aerial spraying operations have been conducted in Tapachula and other cities of southern Mexico, as well as in Honduras, during 1978 and 1979.

متن کاملAbsence of impact of aerial malathion treatment on Aedes aegypti during a dengue outbreak in Kingston, Jamaica.
During an outbreak of dengue fever in Jamaica from October to December 1995, a study was carried out to determine the impact of aerial ultra-low volume malathion treatment on adult Aedes aegypti. This was done by monitoring oviposition rates of the vector in three urban communities in Kingston and by exposing caged mosquitoes both directly and indirectly to the aerial malathion treatment. The i...
