anopheles dthali patton which is one of the 7 malaria vectors in iran was not taken in to consideration until november 1965 when definite sporozaites were found for the first time in its salivary glands in bandar abbas, south of iran. afterwards, efforts have been made to get complete ecological and epidemiological information on this species. the areas of study were two districts of mamasani, ...

BACKGROUND Official guidelines commonly advise travelers to burn mosquito coils as one means of preventing malaria. The objective of this study was to discover if insecticide-containing mosquito coils (1) prevent mosquito bites and therefore malaria acquisition, and (2) are safe in terms of their adverse effects on human users. METHODS We sought published and unpublished controlled trials in ...

(1R)-trans-Norchrysanthemic acid fluorobenzyl esters are synthesized and their structure-activity relationships are discussed. These esters show outstanding insecticidal activity against mosquitoes. In particular, the 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methoxymethylbenzyl analog (metofluthrin) exhibits the highest potency, being approximately forty times as potent as d-allethrin in a mosquito coil formulati...

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of exposure mosquito coil fumes (6 hr/day, 6 days/week, for 4 weeks) on biochemical and histological structure kidney in young adult male rats. Atomic analysis was estimated indicate main constituent elements coil. Results showed a non-significant change body weight gain somatic indices, except heart index that increased significantly both ages ...

there are some arboviral and parasitic diseases which are transmitted by culicine mosquitoes in iran. three genera and eleven species of the subfamily culicinae (diptera: culicidae) were collected by dipping method and identified in kahnooj district, kerman province, south-eastern iran, during october and november, 2003 including; culex (culex) bitaeniorhynchus, cx. (maillotia) deserticola, cx....

Rural areas of developing countries have various indoor air pollution sources along with solid fuels used for cooking. This study aims to compare five sources, viz., incense stick, dhoop, mosquito coil, cigarette, and cooking fuel charcoal, respect their potential. The monitoring PM, CO, CO2, NO2, particulate bound heavy metals was carried out. Dhoop (DH1) found be emitting the highest concentr...

AIMS This study aims to assess the feeding inhibition and repellency effect of three brands of mosquito coils in experimental huts (East African design). Evaluated products were all pyrethroid-based mosquito coils-Kiboko(R), Total(R) and Risasi(R). Mosfly (0.1% D-allethrin) was a positive control. Indoor resting behavior, feeding inhibition and induced exophily were measured as responses of bur...

In Nigeria, malaria causes up to 11% of maternal mortality. Our main aim was to find out the most common mosquito control measures employed by the pregnant women in Lagos and their effects on malaria infection. The study was carried out over a period of 6 months during which trained interviewers administered questionnaires to 400 pregnant women. The prevalence of malaria was 8.4%. There was no ...
