The efficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) is increasingly compromised by the prevalence of malaria vectors resistant to pyrethroids. In response to this issue, a new generation of ITNs has been developed that in...
The aim of the present study was to compare the ixodicide efficacy of 1% permethrin applied as a shampoo-bath in single treatment and a combined formulation of 2% permethrin + 1% piperonyl butoxide applied as powder i...
In tropical streams, freshwater shrimp are essential to preserve the structure and function of lotic ecosystems. Shredder shrimp play a fundamental role in organic matter decomposition because these feed on detritus. ...

Voltage-gated sodium channels are the primary target of pyrethroid insecticides.Mutations in sodium channel confer knockdown resistance(kdr)to pyrethroids in various arthropod pests.Haedoxan A(HA)is the major insectic...
The project described was supported by the following awards:AAES Hatch/Multistate Grants ALA08-045,ALA015-1-10026,ALA015-1-16009 to NL.
Carboxylesterases (CarEs) belong to a super family of multifunctional enzymes associated with the degradation of endogenous and exogenous compounds. Many insect CarEs are known to play important roles in catalyzing th...
Transdermal administration (TDD) is superior to oral and subcutaneous injection in terms of reduced pain, avoidance of first pass effects, stable blood concentration control, and good patient compliance. Many physical...
The work was funded as a collaborative project by the WHO Pesticide Evalua‑tion Scheme,Geneva,Switzerland.
Background:Long-lasting insecticide nets(LLINs)are a core malaria intervention.LLINs should retain efficacy against mosquito vectors for a minimum of three years.Efficacy and durability of Olyset®Plus,a permethrin and...
Fleas that infest pets are considered important parasites of both animals and humans. These insects cause irritation and can also transmit zoonotic diseases. Research has led to a rapid expansion in the development of...
Insecticide resistance is a major obstacle to the management of diseasevectoring mosquitoes worldwide. The genetic changes and detoxification genes involved in insecticide resistance have been extensively studied in p...
