Evaluation of the Time Course on the Effectiveness of WHO Standard Pyrethroid and Carbamate Impregnated Test Papers against < em > Anopheles stephensi < /em > , the Main Malaria Vector in Iran

CONCLUSION: At the diagnostic time of 60 minutes, the mortality rate of both dated and expired papers was 100% in the pyrethroid insecticides, even three years after expiry dates, if stored in the package provided by the producer, in a refrigerator. This value was reduced to less than 100% in the expired papers of Bendiocarb comparing the dated papers that induced 100% mortality.PMID:37609566 | PMC:PMC10440494 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i1.13203
