Mosquito-nets were sprayed with 9.6mg deltamethrin per square meter for control of malaria vectors in Yibin County, Sichuan Province in 1986. In the study area, the relative population indices of Anopheles anthropophagus and An. sinensis in 35 mosquito-nets were 0.6 and 1.4 respectively; the man biting rates of these two vectors dropped by 97.8 and 90.8% respectively. The residual toxic effect of sprayed mosquito-nets, up to 104 days after spray, caused a mortality of 93.1-100% of An. anthropophagus and 87.1-100% of An. sinensis. The multiparous mosquito rate dropped by 48.4 and 51.3%. Indoor-intruding An. anthropophagus and An. sinensis were reduced by 76% and 78.3% respectively. The incidence of malaria decreased by 94.4%, the positive rate in school children declined by 77.5%. Both entomological and epidemiological indices indicated that mosquito-nets sprayed with deltamethrin could effectively control the malaria prevalence. This measure is economical and practical for control of malaria.

D008288 Malaria A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.
