Abstract:: Proban, Famphur and Tiguvon were administered intravenously, subcutaneously, and orally at varying concentrations to 101 female rabbits. The cholinesterase (ChE) activity levels of both plasma and red blood cells were tested, as was tick and mosquito ChE, at various times before and after dosage. The determinations measured the inhibition of...

Abstract:: Mosquito-borne pathogens are the cause of important, often deadly diseases worldwide; and, use of repellents is one of the components of mosquito control programs. The most effective mosquito repellent is N,N-dimethyl-m-toluamide, known as DEET. Speculation on the adverse effects of DEET have been on the rise since the 1980s, and...

Creator:: Pollock, Martin L.
Abstract:: The cytolytic properties of the mosquitocidal 25 Kd protein deltaendotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) was studied using the human erythrocyte as a target cell. Both a fixedtime and a kinetic hemolytic bioassay were developed in order to screen a variety of treatments for their influence on the toxinerythrocyte...

Creator:: Donegan, Katherine K.
Abstract:: Interactions between Bacillus sphaericus and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), persistence of insecticidal activity in the mosquito habitat, and suitability of enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting and quantifying bacterial endotoxin in the mosquito habitat were investigated. Interactions between the two bacterial species were examined by laboratory and field bioassays with...

Creator:: Francis, Kristin A.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to provide a comprehensive review of the risks and benefits of using adulticides to reduce risk of mosquito-borne disease (particularly West Nile Virus) transmission to humans, as well as to decrease annoyance from nuisance mosquitoes. The study was designed with two major research components,...
