Creating an "enabling environment" for taking insecticide treated nets to national scale: the Tanzanian experience. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
INTRODUCTION: Malaria is the largest cause of health services attendance, hospital admissions and child deaths in Tanzania. At the Abuja Summit in April 2000 Tanzania committed itself to protect 60% of its population at high risk of malaria by 2005.

Efficiency of insecticide and bioinsecticide treatments against infestation of European corn borer and their effect on maize yield [PDF]

open access: yesSelekcija i Semenarstvo, 2016
During 2008 and 2009, efficacy of insecticidal products, based on thiamethoxam and imidacloprid, were tested. Furthermore, effects of entomophatogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana on the infestation intensity of European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis ...

Evaluation of Olyset insecticide-treated nets distributed seven years previously in Tanzania. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets represent currently a key malaria control strategy, but low insecticide re-treatment rates remain problematic. Olyset nets are currently one of two long-lasting insecticidal nets recommended by WHO.

Identification and Optimization of New Leads for Malaria Vector Control

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2016
A significant proportion of the world's population remains at risk from malaria, and whilst great progress has been made in reducing the number of malaria cases globally through the use of vector control insecticides, these gains are under ...

A dynamic model to simulate the development of insecticide resistance [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Ecology and Software, 2023
In this article, we described a dynamic model to simulate the development of insecticide resistance. The variables as insecticide use dosage, timing and frequency of insecticide uses, genetic mutagenicity of insect individuals, insecticide-resistant ...

Comparability between insecticide resistance bioassays for mosquito vectors : time to review current methodology? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Insecticides play an integral role in the control of mosquito-borne diseases. With resistance to insecticides on the rise, surveillance of the target population for optimal choice of insecticides is a necessity.

Organic Insecticides [PDF]

open access: yesAnaesthesia and Intensive Care, 2000
Organic insecticide poisoning continues to be a major health problem not only in the developing communities but also in the Western population. The insecticides commonly used are the organophosphates, organocarbamates, organochlorides and pyrethroids.

Implications of insecticide resistance for malaria vector control with long-lasting insecticidal nets: trends in pyrethroid resistance during a WHO-coordinated multi-country prospective study

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Increasing pyrethroid resistance has been an undesirable correlate of the rapid increase in coverage of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) since 2000.

Long-term trends in Anopheles gambiae insecticide resistance in Côte d'Ivoire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Malaria control is heavily dependent on the use of insecticides that target adult mosquito vectors via insecticide treated nets (ITNs) or indoor residual spraying (IRS).
