Assessment of analytical methods to determine pyrethroids content of bednets

To present and evaluate simple, cost‐effective tests to determine the amount of insecticide on treated materials.

A colorimetric test for the evaluation of the insecticide content of LLINs used on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

This study shows that this colorimetric test was a reliable method to assess the insecticidal content of LLINs under operational conditions and enabling National Malaria Control Programmes to gain access to effective and affordable monitoring tools for use in situ.

Development of a Simple Dipstick Assay for Operational Monitoring of DDT

A simple dipstick assay has been developed for monitoring DDT spraying that gives comparable results to HPLC and by making laboratory-based analysis of DDT dosing accessible to field operatives, routine monitoring ofDDT levels can be promoted in low- and middle- income countries to maximise the effectiveness of IRS.

Monitoring and Predicting Net Longevity by Measuring Surface Levels of Insecticide: Implementing a Faster, Cost Effective, Nondestructive, and Field-Ready Alternative to the World Health Organization Cone Test Bioassay.

An important component of malaria control programs is the ability to assess the effectiveness of the insecticide in insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) during normal usage. The standard technique to…

From the factory to the field: considerations of product characteristics for insecticide-treated net (ITN) bioefficacy testing

Operational monitoring of new ITNs and linking observed product performance, such as bioefficacy after 2 or 3 years of use, with product characteristics will aid the development of more robust test methods and product specifications for new products coming to market.

Evaluating the feasibility of using insecticide quantification kits (IQK) for estimating cyanopyrethroid levels for indoor residual spraying in Vanuatu

The IQK colorimetric assay proved to be a useful tool that was simple to use under realistic field conditions and provided rapid information on IRS spray dynamics and spray team performance, facilitating timely decision making and reporting for programme managers.

Residual activity and integrity of PermaNet® 2.0 after 24 months of household use in a community randomised trial of long lasting insecticidal nets against visceral leishmaniasis in India and Nepal.

Analysis of insecticides in long-lasting insecticidal nets using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and correlation with bioefficacy

The main aim of the present study was to determine the utility of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy as a suitable field-deployable tool for total AI quantification in LLINs and the results indicate correlation between quantitative XRF and LC-MS.

Evaluation of surface versus total permethrin content in permethrin-treated clothing: Implications for protection against mosquitoes

While Insect Shield® had the highest repellency rate against susceptible and exposed mosquitoes, differences between groups were not significant and repellency rates indicate SPC plus other factors (e.g. treatment method) may contribute to mosquito repellent and should be considered in risk assessments for protection against pests.

Estimation of insecticide persistence, biological activity and mosquito resistance to PermaNet® 2 long-lasting insecticidal nets over three to 32 months of use in Ethiopia

The insecticidal activity of PermaNet® 2.0 long-lasting insecticidal nets in the specified study area may be considered effective to susceptible mosquitoes at least for the duration indicated in this study (32 months), however, results indicated that resistance in the wild population is already rendering nets with optimum insecticide concentrations less effective in practice.

Thin-layer chromatographic detection of pyrethroid insecticides containing a nitrile group.

A spray reagent for the detection of pyrethroid insecticides containing a nitrile group by thin-layer chromatography is described and the limit of detection is about 1 microgram.

Village trial of bednets impregnated with wash‐resistant permethrin compared with other pyrethroid formulations

A village‐scale field trial of pyrethroid‐impregnated mosquito nets was undertaken in The Gambia, West Africa, in the Mandinka village of Saruja during July‐November 1989, finding that nearly all the villagers possessed and used their own bednets.

Quantification of pyrethroid insecticides from treated bednets using a mosquito recombinant glutathione S‐transferase

The estimated pyrethroid insecticide concentrations were comparable to those obtained by direct HPLC quantification of residues extracted from bednets, suggesting that it should be relatively easy to adapt this method to produce a test kit for residue quantification in the field.

Short report: Lack of specificity of Beilstein test in detecting pyrethroid insecticide on coloured mosquito nets

Evaluation of long‐lasting insecticidal nets after 2 years of household use

A survival analysis approach was used to compare time to net failure of conventional polyester bednets treated only with deltamethrin to two LLINs and two candidate LLIns and PermaNet® 1.0 performed significantly better than conventional nets and should be recommended to malaria control programs.

Laboratory wash resistance of long‐lasting insecticidal nets

The wash resistance of these LLIns corresponded well to their retention of biological activity observed in a field trial, suggesting that wash resistance may be a good predictor of the longevity of insecticidal activity of LLINs under field conditions.

Multi‐country field trials comparing wash‐resistance of PermaNet™ and conventional insecticide‐treated nets against anopheline and culicine mosquitoes

Assessment of the efficacy and wash‐resistance of several production batches of PermaNet™ against malaria vectors in Pakistan, Iran and Tanzania demonstrated superior performance of the LLIN after 20 washes in phase I and phase II bioassays, and this was corroborated by chemical assays of residual deltamethrin.
