BACKGROUND This study aims to research two areas, one with a resistant and the other with a susceptible profile of An. gambiae to deltamethrin in the region of Plateau (southern Benin). In each area, eight localities were sought. Both areas were needed for the assessment of the impact of malaria vector resistance to pyrethroids on the effectiveness of Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). The...

Biting patterns of natural populations of Anopheles minimus s.l. females entering experimental huts treated with DDT and deltamethrin were carried out at Pu Teuy Village, Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand. Two experimental huts, control and treatment, were constructed in the fashion of local Thai homes. Pre-spray biting activity of An. minimus females peaked at 19:00-22:...

A field trial was conducted in Block F of the Moti Bagh area of New Delhi Municipal Committee to demonstrate composite control of Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti by spraying deltamethrin at 100 mg/m2 on window and door curtains of habitations. Results revealed drastic reduction (87.9-93.7%, P < 0.05) of target species in the experimental area. The impact of deltamethrin-treated curtains w...

We compared the susceptibility of sand fly vectors to four topical insecticide treatments applied to domestic dogs, a reservoir of human leishmaniasis. Dogs were exposed to sand flies pretreatment and at 1 week, 1 month, and 2 months posttreatment. Sand fly bloodfeeding and survival rate of both fed and unfed flies were significantly reduced by the permethrin, deltamethrin, and fenthion treatme...

Aim: Deltamethrin (DM) is an insecticide and widely used around the world. Rosmarinic acid (RA) found in herbs spices Lamiaceae (mint) family has antioxidant, antiinflammatory antiapoptotic effects. We objective to examine protecting efficacy of preventing toxic effects Deltamethrin. Material Methods: In ours study we 28 male rats. Group 1: Control group, 2: RA was given 20 mg/kg peroral (p.o.)...

Laboratory bioassays were done to determine the level of resistance to endosulfan, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, methamidophos, profenofos and chlorpyrifos in field populations of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L). Comparison between Multan and Kabirwala strains revealed that the level of resistance in Multan strain was comparatively higher to methamidophos, profenofos and chlorpyrifos as ...

Deltamethrin, first discovered in 1974, is a widely used type II pyrethroid-based synthetic insecticide (1). As a group, pyrethroids are regarded as safer for humans than the other classes of insecticide (2). Deltamethrin is widely used in the agricultural sector, as it has high efficacy against a large number of insects. Its low toxicity to humans has made it one of the insecticides of choice ...

In this work we investigated the inhibitory effect of Deltamethrin, Dichlorvos, Malathion and Lambdacyhalothrin on bovine liver catalase (CAT) activity. We observed that the inhibition of enzyme increased with increasing concentrations of the pesticides from 0 to 250 ppm. The Kinetics conformed to the MichaelisMenten model and a Lineweaver-Burk graph of CAT was drawn. To identify the inhibition...

Burrows within black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado, were dusted with deltamethrin insecticide to reduce flea (Insecta: Siphonaptera) abundance. Flea populations were monitored pre- and posttreatment by combing prairie dogs and collecting fleas from burrows. A single application of deltamethrin significantly re...

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the relative toxicity of selected newer insecticides viz., deltamethrin, spinosad, abamectin and emamectin benzoate in comparision with the organophosporus insecticide malathion to the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, in an attempt to find out a safer and effective seed protectant. The LC50 values based on bioassay studies indicated that...
