Susceptibility of the malaria vectors to insecticides in Bangladesh
Abstract
Insecticide susceptibility tests with diagnostic dosages of 4% DDT and 5% malathion concentrations conducted at field sites on the two important principal malaria vectors namely, Anopheles dirus and An. philippinensis have been reported. They are found to be susceptible to DDT and malathion. The implication of the use of insecticides in controlling malaria is also discussed.
