Abstract:
Field application of mosquito nets impregnated with Fendona (alphamethrin) was con-ducted in Jiangpu,Liuhe and Yizheng counties (city) during 1992 in order to control malaria and mosquito vector. Three groups were set for control,i.e. ,using mosquito nets impregnat-ed with deltamethrin, DDT spraying,and a group without preventive measures. The result showed that density of mosquito vector declined significantly after using of mosquito nets im-pregnated with Fendona. Mosquito density declined by 71. 58% ,the long-term efficiency last-ed more than 4 months,and local malaria incidence declined by 72. 73%. The effect of this measure was similar with that of using mosquito nets impregnated with deltamethrin, and was much better than that of DDT spraying. Since Fendona is a cheap,odourless,and effec-tive insecticide it is worthwhile to be recommended in malaria control program in the field.
