Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is the application of insecticide to interior walls household structures that often serve as resting sites for mosquito vectors malaria. Human exposure malaria reduced when IRS involves proper pre-determined concentrations active ingredient specific formulation choice. The impact can be affected by dosage insecticide, spray coverage, vector behavior, susceptibility insecticides, and efficacy applied. This report compiles data on insecticides used in campaigns...
Insecticide-based vector control, which comprises use of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), is the key method to malaria control in Madagascar. However, its effectiveness threatened as vectors become resistant insecticides. This study investigated resistance status Madagascar various insecticides recommended for ITNs and/or IRS.WHO tube CDC bottle bioassays were performed on populations Anopheles gambiae (s.l.), An. funestus mascarensis. Adult female...
Background:Bartonella species are fastidious gram-negative vector-borne bacteria with a wide range of mammalian reservoirs. While it is understood that some Bartonella human pathogens, the extent exposure to (both pathogenic and nonpathogenic) yet be fully understood. Materials Methods: To this end, residual sera from participants enrolled in undifferentiated fever studies Cambodia, Ghana, Laos, Peru were screened for presence IgG antibodies against quintana henselae, using FOCUS diagnostics...
ABSTRACT A field study was carried out on the year-long residual activity of insect growth regulator (IGR) pyriproxyfen (Nylar 0.5G) in comparison with methoprene (Altosid® XRP Pellets) against mosquito developmental stages catch basins northwestern Riverside County, southern California. Pyriproxyfen applied at 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 g per basin and 3.5 basin. total 80 (10 each treatment 20 for control) were used. Posttreatment observations weekly intervals, all pupal collections reared to...
Abstract To date, Triatoma dimidiata sensu lato [Reduviidae: Triatominae (Latreille 1811)] remains the sole vector species associated with Chagas disease transmission reported from Belize. Human infection data are limited for Belize and dynamics have not been thoroughly investigated, yet likelihood of autochthonous is supported by widespread collection infected vectors within local households. Here, we report updated rates population infestation villages in north central Overall, 275...
ABSTRACT The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a prominent vector for arboviruses, but the breadth of viruses that infects this specie not fully understood. In broadest global survey to date over 200 Ae. small RNA samples, we detected viral interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and Piwi interacting (piRNAs) arising from viruses. We confirmed most academic laboratory colonies lack persisting viruses, yet two commercial strains were infected by novel tombus-like virus. North South American locations also teeming...
