This work aimed to evaluate the persistence (duration of harmful activity) of five insecticides used for pest control in peach orchards, on larvae and adults of the predator Chrysoperla externa. The insecticides were sprayed on cv. Bordô vine plants using the maximum dosage recommended for peach orchard...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the larvicidal activity of Pterodon polygalaeflorus oil extract against the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti. For this, crushed P. polygalaeflorus fruit underwent solvent extraction to obtain the oil extract. The chemical characterization was performed by gas chr...
Dengue is a viral infection transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. In Brazil, one of the insecticides used to control the mosquito is malathion, which can be diluted in vegetable oil (1:2 v/v). The purpose of this study was to understand the persistence of malathion on different surfaces and soil. Su...
Insecticide spraying of housing units is an important control measure for vector-borne infections such as Chagas disease. However, some vectors may survive treatment, due to imperfect spraying by the operator or because they hide deep in the cracks or other places, and re-emerge in the same unit when the...
A controlled clinical trial was carried out to assess the mortality and repellency of a new topical combination of f ipronil-permethrin (Effitix® Virbac, Mexico) against Rhodnius prolixus in dogs. Ten medium-size dogs (10−15kg) with short hair were used. The dogs were exposed to 8 adult triatomines on...

Although having five different ways of transmission the vector-borne is the principal way of transmission of Chagas disease, which involves insects of the subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). Nineteen of the 31 species that occur in Mexico are associated with humans, and all are capable of tran...
Contexto e Importância :
Nos últimos anos, houve cerca de 5.000 casos relatados de doença de Chagas no México. A transmissão da doença é facilitada pela ausência de programas eficazes de monitoramento e vigilância dos vetores, além do uso intensivo de inseticidas, o que pode levar ao surgiment...
Chagas continues to be a relevant public health problem in Latin America. In this work, we present a spatiotemporal analysis applied for the evaluation and planning of Chagas vector control strategies. We analysed the spatial distribution of the vector Triatoma infestans infestation related to ongoing co...

Ectoparasitism in animals has become an issue of great concern that needs to be resolved to prevent huge economic losses occurring to livestock industry all over the world. Synthetic adrugs have been playing a major role in controlling ectoparasites, but their frequent and irrational use has resulted in ...
La escabiosis es una infestación producida por Sarcoptes scabiei, caracterizada por lesiones generalizadas pruriginosas. El diagnóstico es eminentemente clínico. Síntomas compatibles en varios miembros de la misma familia se consideran diagnósticos. El tratamiento consiste en la aplicación de Perme...
