Indoor residual spraying controls leishmaniasis vectors, but insecticide resistance necessitates exploring alternatives like slow-release emulsified suspensions (SRES) and biological controls for effective disease management.

Area of Science:

  • Vector-borne disease control
  • Medical entomology
  • Environmental health

Background:

  • Indoor residual spraying is a cost-effective method for controlling endophilic vectors.
  • DDT is the primary insecticide for leishmaniasis control, but insecticide resistance is a growing concern.
  • Emerging resistance necessitates exploring alternative vector control strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and alternative methods for leishmaniasis vector control.
  • To discuss the efficacy of DDT spraying frequencies and new schedules.
  • To emphasize the role of integrated vector management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on insecticide resistance and alternative control methods.
  • Discussion of spraying frequencies and schedules for DDT.

  • Evaluation of biological control, environmental management, and novel repellent technologies.

    • Main Results:

    • Slow-release emulsified suspension (SRES) offers a potential substitute for conventional insecticides.
    • Allethrin and prallethrin demonstrate repellent effects against Phlebotomus argentipes, the vector of Indian kala-azar.
    • Insecticide-impregnated bednets and satellite remote sensing show promise for enhanced vector control and disease prediction.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrated vector management, including biological and environmental approaches, is crucial for leishmaniasis control.
    • Novel strategies such as SRES, repellent technologies, and remote sensing are vital for overcoming insecticide resistance.
    • Further research into insecticide-impregnated bednets and synthetic pheromones is recommended for future leishmaniasis control efforts.
