A sensitive and reproducible screening analytical method is described for the determination of six pyrethroids (phenothrin, permethrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, fenvalerate) in egg and meat samples by gas chromatography and electron capture detection (GC-ECD). A fast cleanup procedure, based on

We assessed the efficacy of ultra-low volume aerial adulticiding with 2 new water-based, unsynergized formulations of Aqua-K-Othrin (2% deltamethrin) and Pesguard S102 (10% d-phenothrin) against the riceland mosquitoes of Greece. A helicopter with Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation, real-time weather

The control efficacy of clove, Eugenia caryophyllata, and eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus, essential oils and 15 formulations containing these essential oils alone (8, 12, and 15% sprays) and their binary mixtures (7:3, 5:5, and 3:7 by weight) against adult females of
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 21(3), 305-309 (2005-10-29)
Insecticides are the primary means to control Culex pipiens, an enzootic vector of West Nile virus, in the USA. To better understand how the evolution of resistance might impact control of this insect, we investigated the levels of resistance in
