BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) is the main vector of the dengue virus globally. Dengue vector control is mainly based on reducing the vector population through interventions, which target potential breeding sites. However, in Tanzania, little is known about this vector's habitat productivity and insecticide susceptibility status to support evidence-based implementation of control...

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a disease associated with the bacteria "Candidatus Liberibacter spp." and has been devastating citrus orchards around the world. Its management involves control of the insect vector, the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama. However, the indiscriminate use of chemicals has caused pest outbreaks and eliminated the natural enemies of the vector, such as the parasi...

Three pyrethroids were evaluated in the laboratory against Aedes albopictus females by exposure to insecticide impregnated papers, and to 4th instar Ae. albopictus larvae as insecticide solutions. Lambda-cyhalothrin was found to be the most effective pyrethroid when tested against Aedes albopictus adult females and larvae compared with that of deltamethrin and permethrin.

During the recent past, development of DDT resistance and reduction to pyrethroid susceptibility among the malaria vectors has posed a serious challenge in many Southeast Asian countries including India. Current study presents the insecticide susceptibility and knock-down data of field collected Anopheles annularis sensu lato and An. vagus mosquito species from endemic areas of Assam in northea...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Field trials of lambda-cyhalothrin 10 CS (ICON 10 CS) in indoor residual spraying (IRS) with 25 mg a.i./m2 against Anopheles culicifacies was undertaken vs malathion IRS (25% WP-2 g a.i./m2) in Tumkur district, Karnataka; vs deltamethrin IRS (2.5% WP-20 mg a.i./m2) in Dharmapuri district; and vs lambda-cyhalothrin (10 WP-25 mg a.i./m2) in Ramanathapuram district, Tamil N...

Pesticides make an important contribution to increased global agricultural production; however, their intensive use represents a risk biota in both the short and long terms. The physical chemical characteristics of these compounds, as well versatility agricultural, domestic, public health use, have led them become widely present environment. objectives this study were evaluate spatiotemporal di...

Insecticide application is the most common method of insect control in agriculture. Efficiency washing treatments reduction insecticide (chlorpyrifos-methyl and lambda-cyhalothrin) residues from grapes were investigated this study. The trial was established a Sultana seedless vineyard Sar?göl District, Manisa Province, Turkey 2020. Method verification performed with recovery, limit quantificati...

A simple method for the synthesis of octahydroquinazolinone derivatives in the presence of BF3.SiO2 and Insecticide activity of these compounds against spodoptera litura was investigated to be comparable to commercial pyrethroid insecticides, Cypermethrin and Cyhalothrin. The structure of the isolated compounds was characterized by 1HNMR and FT-IR spectroscopy.The proposed method had some ad...
