Chlorphenapyr (A pyrrole insecticide) applied alone or as a mixture with Alpha-cypermethrin for indoor residual spraying against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae sl: an experimental hut study in cove, Benin. PLoS ONE. 11(9).
Abstract
Indoor spraying of walls and ceilings with residual insecticide remains a primary method of malaria control. Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is a growing problem. Novel insecticides for indoor residual spraying (IRS) which can improve the control of pyrethroid resistant malaria vectors are urgently needed. Insecticide mixtures have the potential to improve efficacy or even to manage resistance in some situations but this possibility remains underexplored experimentally. Chlorfenapyr is a novel pyrrole insecticide which has shown potential to improve the control of mosquitoes which are resistant to current WHO-approved insecticides..
