Development of Deltamethrin-Laced Attractive Toxic Sugar Bait to Control < em > Aedes aegypti < /em > (Linnaeus) Population

CONCLUSIONS: The ATSBs formulated with guava juice-ASB and deltamethrin (9 : 1) showed toxin dose-dependent toxicity by all the four strains of Ae. aegypti. Most effective dosage was found as 0.8 mg deltamethrin/10 mL ATSB which imparted 96% to 98% mortality in adult mosquitoes. The investigations demonstrated the efficacy of deltamethrin-laced ATSB formulations against Ae. aegypti and highlighted the need for conduct of structured field trials and investigating the impact on disease vectors and nontarget organisms.PMID:38223354 | PMC:PMC10787649 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6966205
