Control of pyrethroid and DDT-resistant Anopheles gambiae by application of indoor residual spraying or mosquito nets treated with a long-lasting organophosphate insecticide, chlorpyrifos-methyl

Malaria Journal 2010, 9:44 (8 February 2010)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]
|
The study indicates that chlorpyrifos methyl outperformed DDT and lambdacyhalothrin. In IRS campaigns, it should provode improved levels of transmission control compared to conventional formulations of DDT or pyrethroids, always assuming that the product is available for such use.

The authors discuss the compliance associated with a three-day AS-MQ regimen following a recent change in the treatment guidelines for uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Thailand. The patient data are supported by whole blood/plasma drug levels. In malaria treatment compliance remains a major factor determining effectiveness.
