| 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 |
