Comparison of ground and aerial ultra-low volume applications of malathion against Aedes aegypti in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Abstract
Efficacy of ground and aerial ultra-low volume (ULV) applications of 91% malathion at 438 ml/ha against Aedes aegypti in the Dominican Republic was evaluated using indoor collections, oviposition trapping and adult sentinel mortality rates. Ground compared to aerial ULV applications in this study were found to have a greater effect on Ae. aegypti when measured by the described sampling techniques. Neither application method provided the level of Ae. aegypti suppression believed necessary for control in the event of a dengue virus epidemic.
