The motivation for the use of bednets decreased after less than a year, and concerted efforts are required to change behaviour by providing accurate information, most particularly by convincing people that mosquitoes are the only source of malaria, whilst recognising that there are other diseases with similar symptoms, caused in other ways.

A field population of houseflies, Musca domestica L., was studied by means of a mark‐release‐recapture method (Bailey's triple‐catch method), and the mean duration of adult life of flies was found to be short.

A new way of titrating Bt products combining insect based bioassay and quantitative determination of toxin protein with biochemical methods is proposed and improvement in the standard protocols used for bioassays and the statistical methods applied is suggested.

The study showed that it is possible to organize mosquito control in a tropical, urban environment by forming and rapidly training teams of young people to carry out the mosquito control mostly using a biopesticide that can be applied without any tools except an iron bar to lift lids on some cesspits.
Efficacy of a granular formulation of Bacillus sphaericus against Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles gambiae in West African countries.

The efficacy of a sustained released granular formulation of Bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 was compared to a flowable concentrate in containers, cesspools, and water ponds and spores showed an increase in number of spores at the surface where larvae were added weekly and a rapid decline where they were not.

Using this methodology, the commercial monofilament yarn polyethylene nets are significantly stronger than the commercial multifilament polyester nets.
Parameters influencing potency of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis products.

Biochemical methods for quantification of toxin can not relate simply to potency of the products obtained with this method, and it is suggested that standard protocols for bioassay may be changed to assure equal particle size of products and samples to obtain parallel dose response.
