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 01/01/2014 - "However, recent reports from different parts of the country showed that populations of Anopheles arabiensis, the principal malaria vector, have developed resistance to most families of insecticides recommended for public health use which may compromise the efficacy of both of these key vector control interventions. " 04/01/2002 - "Malaria parasites have been eliminated from Europe and North America through the use of residual insecticides and manipulation of environmental and ecological characteristics; however, in many tropical and some temperate areas the incidence of disease is increasing dramatically. " 02/18/2014 - "Combined method of prevention (insecticides treated nets and insecticide spray) yielded good results and its use is advocated in preventing malaria among the pregnant women. " 01/01/1954 - "The authors report on preliminary observations carried out in three experimental houses in Netherlands New Guinea, the object of which was to determine whether residual spraying with insecticides might be expected to give good results in the control of malaria transmitted by mosquitos of the Anopheles punctulatus group and by A. " 12/01/2011 - "Studies demonstrated efficacy of all four major classes of insecticides against malaria vectors in Tanzania with focal points showing phenotypic resistance. "
2.	Bites and Stings (Sting) 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. " 01/01/2015 - "The reasons for the relatively low selection pressure posed by adulticides are (i) that males are not affected by the ITNs and, in particular, (ii) that the insecticides are also repellents, keeping mosquitoes at bay from contacting the insecticide but also driving them to bite either people who do not use the insecticide or alternative hosts. " 05/28/2014 - "Moreover, dogs protected against sand fly bites through the use of topical insecticides and sleeping indoors showed significantly lower antibody levels than the non-protected ones. " 01/01/2014 - "Beyond defining biological coverage in a measurable way, the proportion of blood meals obtained from humans and the proportion of bites upon unprotected humans occurring indoors also suggest optimal target product profiles for delivering insecticides to humans or livestock. " 05/01/2011 - "Most travelers going to risk areas knew about personal protection measures against mosquito bites, but only 21.4% and 12.1% carried mosquito repellents or insecticides, respectively. "
3.	Infection 01/01/2013 - "In this study we compared laboratory strains of An. funestus that were resistant and susceptible to pyrethroid insecticides, for their receptiveness to infection with Plasmodium berghei and compared development times with other vector species available in our laboratory. " 01/01/1988 - "Trypanosoma infection increases the susceptibility to insecticides as previous study showed it (Golder et al., 1982, 1984). " 01/01/2015 - "Statistical interactions were observed between rs4132601 and maternal insecticide use (p = 0.012), breastfeeding p = 0.017) and repeated early common infections (p = 0.0070), with allelic odds ratios (OR) which were only increased among the children not exposed to insecticides (OR = 1.8, 95%CI: 1.3, 2.4), those who had been breastfed (OR = 1.8, 95%CI: 1.3, 2.5) and those who had had repeated early common infections (OR = 2.4, 95%CI: 1.5, 3.8). " 01/01/2014 - "Instead, integrated and pragmatic virus control measures should be sought that combine (1) cultural practices that reduce sources of virus inoculum and decrease the rate of spread of viruliferous vectors into the pepper crop, (2) synthetic insecticides, which should be used judiciously and only when the plants are young and most susceptible to infection, (3) appropriate natural products and biocontrol agents to induce resistance in the plants, affect the behavior of the vector insects, or augment the local populations of parasites or predators of the virus vectors, and (4) polygenic resistances against viruses and vector insects with pyramided single-gene virus resistances to improve resistance durability. " 01/01/2014 - "Here, we investigated the species composition, infection rate and susceptibility to insecticides of this species group in Uganda. "
4.	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. " 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. " 01/01/2007 - "Evaluating the efficacy of two pyrethroid insecticides on Aedes aegypti, thereby providing useful information for decision-making in controlling dengue. " 06/01/2013 - "Continuous resistance monitoring should be conducted regularly to confirm the efficacy of insecticides for dengue control. " 11/01/2014 - "Introduction This study was conducted in Brazil and Colombia,where dengue is endemic and vector control programs use chemical insecticides. "
5.	Poisoning 03/01/2009 - "The increased use of organophosphate (OP) insecticides and the ever increasing possibility of terror groups using nerve agents underscore the need to develop effective and safe antidotes against OP poisoning. " 01/01/2013 - "According the result of this study the most cause of poisoning was insecticides. " 11/01/2005 - "The aim of this study is to report our experience with a child who developed extrapyramidal perturbations complicating acute organophosphate insecticides poisoning and to review the literature reporting on basal ganglia impairment associated with this poisoning. " 03/21/2001 - "This study demonstrated that the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) blocking is more frequently seen in P, P+M and P+F poisoning than in M and F poisoning, and that SSFEMG is a more sensitive electrophysiological method than RNS for detecting neuromuscular transmission blockage in myasthenia rats with acute insecticides poisoning." 05/09/1992 - "The aim of the present study was to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of poisoning by organophosphorus insecticides in the province of Almería.
