Abstract Background As malaria cases increase in some of the highest burden countries, more strategic deployment new and proven interventions must be evaluated to meet global reduction goals. Methods The cost cost-effectiveness indoor residual spraying (IRS) with pirimiphos-methyl (Actellic®300 CS) were assessed a high transmission district (Mopeia) access pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets (I...

The nature and type of local indoor resting wall surfaces to certain level influences the residual bio-efficacy of insecticides used in indoor residual spraying programs. Knockdown and mortality effects of an organophosphate Actellic 300 CS and pyrethroid K-Othrine WG 250 insecticides on the field-collected Culex quinquefasciatus were assessed bimonthly from July to November 2014, using World H...

Background: Pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes are an increasing threat to malaria vector control. The Global Plan for Insecticide Resistance Management (GPIRM) recommends rotation of non-pyrethroid insecticides for indoor residual spraying (IRS). The options from other classes are limited. The carbamate bendiocarb and the organophosphate pirimiphos-methyl (p-methyl) emulsifiable concentrate (EC) ...

BACKGROUND Antouka Super® (AS), a combination of insecticide (Pirimiphos-methyl 16% and Permethrin 3%), is one of the most widely used pesticides in agriculture, public health, home and garden, with high potential for human and animal exposure. OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of AS on the serum testosterone, oxidative stress biomarkers, testis histology and f...

A multiresidue method was developed for the determination of 12 organophosphorus insecticides (diazinon, parathion methyl, fenitrothion, pirimiphosmethyl, malathion, fenthion, chlorpyrifos, quinalphos, methidathion, ethion, azinphosmethyl, coumaphos), one carbamate (pirimicarb), and one amidine (amitraz) in unifloral and multifloral honeys. The analytical procedure was based on the matrix solid...

‘Invest in the future. Defeat malaria,’ the theme of World Malaria Day 2013, still struck a chord with the outgoing WHO Global Malaria Program Director, Dr Robert Newman, during the release of the latest World Malaria Report on 11 December 2013 in Washington D.C. Dr Newman stated that ‘the greatest threat to continued success in malaria efforts is financial,’ as the community had less than half...
