Insecticides

Pesticides designed to control insects that are harmful to man. The insects may be directly harmful, as those acting as disease vectors, or indirectly harmful, as destroyers of crops, food products, or textile fabrics.

Related Diseases

1.	Malaria 06/09/2015 - "While long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying are highly effective interventions, this study tests the hypothesis that improved housing can reduce malaria by decreasing house entry by malaria mosquitoes. " 01/01/2014 - "Although, as expected, insecticide-treatment of livestock is predicted to be more beneficial in settings with highly zoophilic vectors, like South Asia, we find that the intervention could also considerably decrease malaria transmission in regions with more anthropophilic vectors, like Anopheles arabiensis in Africa, under specific circumstances: high treatment coverage of the livestock population, using a product with stronger or longer lasting insecticidal effect than in the Pakistan trial, and with small (ideally null) repellency effect, or if increasing the attractiveness of treated livestock to malaria vectors. " 10/01/2019 - "Although effective in preventing malaria, this practice results in elevated insecticide exposure to >100 million people, most of whom are Africans. " 01/01/2018 - "Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are highly effective in reducing morbidity and mortality from malaria. " 11/21/2017 - "As malaria transmission is seasonal in most parts of Ethiopia, a single round of spraying can usually provide effective protection against malaria, provided the insecticide remains effective over the entire malaria transmission season. "
2.	Infections 01/01/2022 - "The field trials showed a significant reduction in ECB severity (75%), fungal ear rot severity (68%), Fusarium Liseola section infection (46%), FBs (75%) and MON (79%) as a result of the insecticide application for all the years, while the DON content increased by 60%. " 01/01/2016 - "infantum infection throughout one transmission season, whereas no significant difference was recorded in the frequency of active infections between dogs vaccinated with CaniLeish and control dogs, emphasizing the importance of using repellent/insecticide actives as a priority measure for protection against canine leishmaniosis." 08/30/2005 - "Over 54 months, there was a significantly greater increase in endophyte-infection frequency in the presence of herbivores (30% increase) than where mammalian and insect herbivory were experimentally reduced by fencing and insecticide application (12% increase). " 02/01/2016 - "The study highlights the difficulty in controlling CanL infection by means of insecticide use alone and that it could be improved by using the Scalibor and Advantix combination and identifying and targeting specific geographical areas." 01/01/2006 - "The incidence of trypanosome infection was monitored in dairy cattle during a 6-month trial in Busia and Teso districts, western Kenya, to assess the efficacy of insecticide-treated netting for protection against tsetse flies. "
3.	Bites and Stings (Sting) 08/01/2014 - "Overall, there is substantial evidence that insecticide-treated clothing can provide protection against arthropod bites. " 10/29/2010 - "Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) offer longer time protection against such bites because they are more wash resistant, and are preferred to conventionally treated nets. " 05/23/2009 - "Correct use of insecticide treated nets in this area may be effective for vector control although additional protective measures are needed to prevent pre-bedtime exposure to the bites of infected anophelines." 05/01/2003 - "Since ground treatment of larval breading sites using insecticides is not always possible or efficient, it is therefore a necessity to develop other methods among which individual protection against Simulium bites. " 09/29/2021 - "The following scoping review was conducted to examine novel means of reversing this trend by exploring the efficacy of insecticide-treated window screens or eaves to reduce Anopheles mosquito bites, mosquito house entry, and density. "
4.	Poisoning 03/01/2016 - "Despite being a major clinical and public health problem across the developing world, responsible for at least 5 million deaths over the last three decades, the clinical care of patients with organophosphorus (OP) insecticide poisoning has little improved over the last six decades. " 12/01/2022 - "Conclusion From this study, we concluded that acute poisoning among children is mainly accidental, and the most common toxic agent responsible for the poisoning is pesticide or insecticide. " 01/01/2020 - ": To determine whether there is consistent evidence of oxidative stress in patients with acute OP insecticide self-poisoning, and whether there are animal or human trial data that indicate that treatment of oxidative stress provides clinical benefit, which would suggest a direct toxic effect of oxidative stress.Methods" 10/01/2019 - "Suicide by hanging increased by 56% (from 3.9 to 6.1 per 100,000) among males and by 24% (from 2.1 to 2.6 per 100,000) among females over the study period while incidence of insecticide poisoning decreased by 44% (from 2.7 to 1.5 per 100,000) among males and by 52% (from 1.7 to 0.8 per 100,000) among females. " 06/01/2019 - "Majority of the studies shows that insecticides and pesticides compounds are the most widely used agents for poisoning. "
5.	Dengue (Dengue Fever) 09/01/2013 - "Efficacy of the recommended dosages of frequently used insecticides in space spraying and larviciding in dengue vector control programmes was also tested. " 06/10/2021 - "This review also provides improved insights into the specific use of insecticides for effective control of mosquitoes in these dengue endemic countries." 09/01/2012 - "Physiological resistance of natural population of Aedes aegypti to insecticides contribute to the decreased efficacy of chemical control as a main control strategy during dengue outbreaks. " 06/01/2013 - "Continuous resistance monitoring should be conducted regularly to confirm the efficacy of insecticides for dengue control. " 02/01/2013 - "The efficacy of insecticide-treated window curtains (ITCs) for dengue vector control was evaluated in Thailand in a cluster-randomized controlled trial. "
