open access: yesArchives of Toxicology, 2012
Pyrethroid insecticides are one of the most widely used pesticides to combat agricultural pests and malaria. Compared with the group of the organophosphorus pesticides acting via the inhibition of acetylcholine esterase in either insects or mammals, the neurotoxic mechanism of pyrethroids is thought to be more species specific.

Loss of protection with insecticide-treated nets against pyrethroid-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes once nets become holed: an experimental hut study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: An important advantage of pyrethroid-treated nets over untreated nets is that once nets become worn or holed a pyrethroid treatment will normally restore protection. The capacity of pyrethroids to kill or irritate any mosquito that comes into
