| the scope and limitations of insecticide spraying in rural vector control programmes in the states of karnataka and tamil nadu in india. | the resurgence of malaria in india began in 1966 and the states of karnataka and tamil nadu were no exception to this phenomenon. in both states the peak occurrence came in 1976. malaria was largely confined to highly vulnerable and receptive areas. the problem of increased incidence was particularly associated with the development of several irrigation and hydro-electric schemes. improperly maintained irrigation systems and reservoirs provided ideal breeding grounds. the present paper examines ... | 1982 | 6206995 |
| larvivorous fish in wells target the malaria vector sibling species of the anopheles culicifacies complex in villages in karnataka, india. | malaria was a major problem in a sericulture area of karnataka, south india, where anopheles culicifacies s.l. and a. fluviatilis s.l. were considered to be the main vectors. sibling species complexes of these two species were analysed in three ecologically different villages. among a. culicifacies, only sibling species a and b were found. in puram, a village with 22 wells, species a predominated; species b predominated in a village with four wells and a stream, and in a village with a stream an ... | 2005 | 15607336 |
| reduced susceptibility to selected synthetic pyrethroids in urban malaria vector anopheles stephensi: a case study in mangalore city, south india. | synthetic pyrethroids are potent insecticides most commonly used in the vector control programme. these are applied for indoor residual sprays, space sprays and in impregnated bed nets. resistance reduces the efficacy of insecticides. thus, the susceptibility status of the target vector(s) is monitored routinely to select the effective ones. a study was undertaken in a malaria endemic coastal city mangalore, karnataka, south india, against the known malaria vector anopheles stephensi. | 2010 | 20573246 |
