| Popis: | Two different methods of treating cotton and nylon-cotton fabrics with permethrin were evaluated for protection from mosquito bites after laboratory weathering. Cotton fabric treated by the individual dynamic absorption method provided consistently better protection than cotton fabric treated by the aerosol method. The nylon-cotton fabric provided similar protection regardless of the treatment method. After weathering, the toxic effects of both types of permethrin-treated fabrics treated by both methods diminished much more rapidly than did the repellent effect. Low residual amounts of permethrin in the fabrics provided 85% protection from bites against Aedes aegypti (L.) and 93% protection against Anopheles stephensi Liston. Permethrin-treated fabrics were effective in providing protection from mosquito bites for long periods, even after exposure to weathering, and appear to be an effective means of reducing nuisance effects and disease transmission by mosquitoes. |
