| a village-scale trial with the insecticides carbaryl and folithion in southern nigeria. | the insecticides carbaryl and folithion were tested on a village scale in the vicinity of lagos, nigeria, by the who insecticide testing unit in 1963. whereas carbaryl reduced the density of anophelines and culicines for two months, folithion greatly reduced their density for six months or more. the mortality among mosquitos leaving treated dwellings and caught in window-traps in the carbaryl-treated village was fairly high for only one month after treatment, but in the folithion-treated village ... | 1965 | 5294992 |
| field trials of bromophos and schering 34615 residual sprays and of cheesecloth impregnated with bayer 39007 for control of anopheles gambiae and a. funestus in nigeria. | in a continuation of the world health organization's collaborative scheme for testing new insecticides against malaria vectors, field trials were carried out during 1965 in the forest belt of western nigeria near lagos and in the guinea savanna belt of northern nigeria near kaduna, using bromophos residual spray and cheesecloth impregnated with bayer 39007; schering 34615 was applied as a residual spray in lagos. although bromophos appeared to be effective for at least five months after spraying ... | 1966 | 5297804 |
| dynamics of the malaria-vector populations in coastal lagos, south-western nigeria. | an entomological study was carried out in coastal lagos, south-western nigeria, to explore the role of anopheles gambiae s.l. and an. moucheti in the transmission of plasmodium falciparum in this holo-endemic area. mosquitoes were caught, on human bait at night and by pyrethrum-spray catches during the day, twice a month throughout 2000. of the 1812 anopheles mosquitoes collected, an. gambiae s.l., the predominant vector species, represented 78.7% while the other 21.3% were an. moucheti. the res ... | 2002 | 11989536 |
| a village-scale trial of fenthion as a residual spray in nigeria. | in the course of an insecticide-testing programme, fenthion was applied in mud-walled huts at an intended concentration of 1.5 g/m(2) in a village near lagos, nigeria. this paper describes the entomological results obtained. bio-assays on anopheles gambiae showed an effective kill (i.e., over 70%) for 7 weeks on mud surfaces, 11 weeks on wood surfaces and 16 weeks on raffia-palm mid-ribs. no mosquitos were found in pyrethrum spray catches in the treated village for 7 weeks after the application ... | 1963 | 14056271 |
| seasonal and temporal variations in the population and biting habit of mosquitoes on the atlantic coast of lagos, nigeria. | to determine the hourly density of vector mosquitoes in coastal nigeria, compare seasonal human-biting and sporozoite rates in the vector density, locate breeding sites of mosquitoes, and determine larval population at breeding sites. | 2006 | 16651836 |
| impact of urbanisation on bionomics and distribution of malaria vectors in lagos, southwestern nigeria. | the patterns of annual, rainfall as well as average daily temperature have not changed drastically in the study area since 1960 when detailed baseline entomological surveys were carried out. however, the increase in human population from 1.2 to 10 million has resulted in both expansion of land and tremendous ecological and environmental change. this has led to drastic changes in vectors' densities as well as species' composition while the preferred larval habitat of malaria vectors has shifted t ... | 2006 | 17175702 |
| anopheles gambiae s.s. breeding in polluted water bodies in urban lagos, southwestern nigeria. | urban malaria is on the rise in nigeria due to rapid industrialisation and developmental activities. a study was undertaken in lagos, nigeria to study the anopheles breeding in polluted water bodies. | 2007 | 18092529 |
