| Abstract: | Five insecticides (Bifenthrin, Deltamethrin,
Etofenprox, Permethrin and Lamda cyhalothrin) recommended by WHO, at their
recommended dose were compared for their efficacy and wash resistance through
bioassay against mosquito vectors, Culex
quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti and
Anopheles stephensi. Etofenprox treated nettings exhibited better knockdown
and mortality than the other insecticides. The order of efficacy of the
insecticides treated nettings was Etofenprox ≥ Deltamethrin > Lambda
cyhalothrin > Permethrin > Bifenthrin. |
