Vector Control Research Centre, Indira Nagar, Pondicherry, India.

A hut-scale trial of pyraclofos 50% EC applied as an indoor residual spray at 1 gm/sq m was carried out against malaria vectors. Anopheles fluviatilis and An. culicifacies in Kandhaguda village of Malkangiri district, Orissa. Bandhaguda village was kept as control. Pyraclofos was effective in reducing the vector density by 80-96% after 24 h of spray, but the density increased within three weeks. Parity rates were reduced only for three weeks as measured by diurnal indoor resting collection. Contact bioassays on mud wall showed pyraclofos has a residual life of only three weeks. No adverse effect was noticed among villagers or spraymen. Cockroaches were found to be very sensitive to this compound.

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.
