This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains the standard operating procedure (SOP) for evaluating the susceptibility of adult sand fly vectors (Phlebotomus spp. and Lutzomyia longipalpis) to insecticides with the WHO tube test. Some species of sand flies are vectors of leishmaniases. The SOP includes instructions on preparing materials, exposing sand flies, and recording and interpreting test results. This procedure should be followed to test the susceptibility of sand flies to insecticides that can be impregnated onto filter papers. This SOP will fulfil the long-awaited need of vector-borne disease control programmes in health ministries in countries endemic for or at risk of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, researchers and the pesticide industry to monitor insecticide resistance in wild populations of sand fly vectors. It can be adapted to determine discriminating concentrations of new insecticide compounds with susceptible strains of sand fly vectors in laboratories.

Book excerpt: This document contains the standard operating procedure (SOP) for evaluating the susceptibility of adult sand fly vectors (Phlebotomus spp. and Lutzomyia longipalpis) to insecticides in WHO bottle bioassays. Some species of sand flies are vectors of leishmaniases. The SOP includes instructions on preparing materials, exposing sand flies, and recording and interpreting test results. This procedure should be followed to test the susceptibility of sand flies to insecticides that are unstable and/or cannot be impregnated on usual Whatman No. 1 filter papers. This SOP will fulfil the long-awaited need of vector-borne disease control programmes in health ministries in countries endemic for or at risk of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, researchers and the pesticide industry to monitor insecticide resistance in wild populations of sand fly vectors. It can be adapted to determine discriminating concentrations of new insecticide compounds with susceptible strains of sand fly vectors in laboratories.

Book excerpt: The document presents outcome of a WHO multi-centre study (2020–2022) performed by eight laboratories in different WHO regions and the WHO expert consultations that made recommendations to WHO on insecticide discriminating concentrations (DCs) for monitoring resistance in sand fly vectors of leishmaniases. It describes use of the WHO bottle bioassay as a new method for testing susceptibility of sand flies to insecticides that are not suitable for impregnation on filter papers and makes recommendations to WHO on monitoring of insecticide resistance in field populations of sand flies. It also proposes further research to test the new DCs for sand flies in other settings and conditions and to collect evidence from the national disease control programmes and share them with WHO for further assessment and revision of the DCs if required. The current edition of the WHO manual for monitoring insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors and selecting appropriate interventions will be revised using the recommendations made to WHO including for the new DCs for sand flies. The report will be useful to the national vector-borne disease control programmes and the research community for resistance monitoring, and to academia, the pesticide regulatory agencies and the pesticide industry for further innovation in this area and to address the research questions.

This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The course module provides the students with the knowledge and skills for developing and implementing effective strategies to control disease vectors and domestic pests (e.g. integrated vector management), with emphasis on improved management of public health pesticides throughout their life cycle. Alternative methods and strategies for pest and vector control, their cost-effectiveness and their sustainability are discussed. Students will also examine the WHO strategies, policies and guidelines for using pesticides in public health. This course was first developed in 2012 by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with the University of Cape Town (South Africa) and was revised in 2015. The current version incorporates major revisions and updates of the course material.

This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The document provides an up-to-date recommendations made to WHO by the experts of WHO consultations on discriminating concentrations of insecticides for monitoring resistance in adult mosquito vectors. It is an outcome of a WHO multi-centre study (2017–2021) performed by 23 laboratories in different regions and the WHO expert consultations that made recommendations to WHO on insecticide discriminating concentrations for monitoring resistance in Anopheles and Aedes spp. The document describes a new WHO bottle bioassay method for testing susceptibility of mosquitoes to insecticides that are not suitable for impregnation on filter papers and makes recommendations for future scientific research on development of methods and procedures for testing resistance against insecticides with new, novel or distinct modes of action. Making use of the recommendations made to WHO by the experts, WHO will soon update current WHO test methods and procedures and publish standard operating procedures for testing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes, which in turn will be useful to the national vector-borne disease control programmes, in particular the entomological surveillance units, and the research community for monitoring insecticide resistance in field populations of mosquito vectors of disease. The document will also be useful to academia, the pesticide regulatory agencies and the pesticide industry for further innovation in this area and to address the research questions.
