The cost-effectiveness of lambdacyhalothrin-treated nets in comparison with conventional DDT spraying for malaria control among migrant populations was evaluated in a malaria hyperendemic area along the Thai-Myanmar border. Ten hamlets of 243 houses with 948 inhabitants were given only treated nets. Twelve hamlets of 294 houses and 1,315 population were in the DDT area, and another 6 hamlets wi...

This study was aimed to investigate thecurrent insecticide resistance status in malaria vector mosquitoes from Dogbo district South-western Benin, West Africa. Larvae and pupae of Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations were collected the breeding sites March July 2020 during first rainy season Couffo department using dipping method. WHO susceptibility tests conducted on unfed female aged 2-5 days o...

The susceptibility of Anopheles minimus s.l., Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus to insecticide in northern Thailand was monitored by using the WHO standard susceptibility test. Oneto two-day old female mosquitos, which were reared from wild caught females or immature stages, were exposed to discriminating dosages of insecticides for recommended exposure periods, and the ...

Lambda-cyhalothrin (trade name Karate) is a pyrethroid insecticide, widely used to control insect pests in agriculture, public health, and homes and gardens. In the present study, an attempt has been made to study the effect of lambda-cyhalothrin on protein content of different tissues like liver, muscle and brain of the edible fish Etroplus suratensis (Bloch). The E. suratensis fishes were exp...

The present study aimed to compare between the action of the pyrethroid insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin and the benzoylphenylurea lufenuron on total protein, carbohydrate and lipid content, and on digestive enzymes, transaminases, phosphatases and chitinase activity of Culex pipiens L. late third-instar larvae compared to the control. Both lambda-cyhalothrin and lufenuron significantly reduced t...

Different insecticides are being used for household and agricultural pest control in the capital city of Iran, Tehran. An investigation was carried out in order to evaluate the susceptibility level of laboratory and field collected mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatusin to different insecticides. Field strain was collected from sewage system of the city. Adult females were subjected to the diagnost...

In malaria endemic forested villages in Orissa State, India, a 3-year comparison of nylon nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin at 25 mg/m2, untreated nets, and no nets was carried out. Treated nets retained high insecticidal efficacy for more than 7 months. Nets washed after 3 months of use gave 98% kill in a bioassay with a 3-min exposure. Based on these bioassays during the first year, nets we...

an investigation was carried out on permethrin-susceptible and resistant strain of malaria vector, an.stephensi. efficacy of several pyrethroids such as permetrhrin, deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, cypermethrin and cyfluthrin against this species showed that those with an α-cyano group and dibromo substitutions were more toxic to sensitive strains than the other classes like permethrin. the ra...
