Micro-encapsulated pirimiphos-methyl shows high insecticidal efficacy and long residual activity against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors in... (Publications)
e-treated nets and indoor residual spraying (IRS) has contributed to a considerable decrease of malaria morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa over the last decade. Due to increasing resistance [...] for IRS with long-lasting residual activity are required to sustain the gains obtained in most malaria-endemic countries. METHODS: Three experimental capsule suspension (CS) formulations of the organ [...] alternatives for IRS, as they demonstrate prolonged insecticidal effect and residual...
