Biologically meaningful coverage indicators for eliminating malaria transmission. [PDF]
, 2012 Mosquitoes, which evade contact with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays, by feeding outdoors or upon animals, are primary malaria vectors in many tropical countries.

Insecticide Use and Crop Selection: A South Dakota Case Study [PDF]
South Dakota has recently experienced a significant increase in the proportion of acres treated with insecticide. Unfortunately, data on insecticide usage by crop at the county level is not available. The following case study seeks to uncover the reasons

Incidence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in two Guatemalan communities.
, 2004 The prevalence of human infection by Trypanosoma cruzi was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a serological survey in 1998 of 2 rural communities (SMH and PS) in Guatemala.

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

Variation in the susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae to botanicals across a metropolitan region of Nigeria [PDF]
, 2019 Pesticide resistance is normally associated with genetic changes, resulting in varied responses to insecticides between different populations. There is little evidence of resistance to plant allelochemicals; it is likely that their efficacy varies ...

ESTIMATING INSECTICIDE APPLICATION FREQUENCIES: A COMPARISON OF GEOMETRIC AND OTHER COUNT DATA MODELS [PDF]
The number of insecticide applications made by an apple grower to control an insect infestation is modeled as a geometric random variable. Insecticide efficacy, rate per application, month of treatment, and method of application all have significant ...
