Field evaluation of malathion fogging against Japanese encephalitis vector, Culex tritaeniorhynchus.

چکیده
Malathion technical fogging is considered as a potent tool for the control of vectors of various diseases. The purpose of fogging is to interrupt the further transmission by killing the vectors carrying pathogens. Fogging operation was launched in India in 1970 as an urgent remedial measure. Thermal fogging with malathion is very effective in malaria and dengue outbreaks, but it has a very little impact in Japanese encephalitis (JE) outbreak, because of its unpredictable and infrequent occurrence. Due to non-availability of any effective control tool for the control of JE vectors, malathion thermal fogging itself becomes an unavoidable part of vector control in JE outbreak. Malathion technical fogging is, therefore, recommended during JE outbreaks.

BACKGROUND Culex tritaeniorhynchus is the primary vector of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a leading cause of encephalitis in Asia. JEV is transmitted in an enzootic cycle involving large wading birds as the reservoirs and swine as amplifying hosts. The development of a JEV vaccine reduced the number of JE cases in regions with comprehensive childhood vaccination programs, such as in Japan ...
