Barrier insecticide treatments have a long history in mosquito control programs but have been used more frequently in the United States in recent years for control of invasive "backyard" species (eg, ) and increases in incidence of vector-borne diseases (eg, Zika).
We reviewed the published literature for studies investigating barrier treatments for mosquito control during the last 74 years (1944-2018). We searched databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to retrieve worldwide literature on barrier treatments.
Forty-four studies that evaluated 20 active ingredients (AIs) and 21 formulated products against multiple mosquito species are included. Insecticides investigated for efficacy included organochlorines (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane [DDT], β-hexachlorocyclohexane [BHC]), organophosphates (malathion), and pyrethroids (bifenthrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin) as AIs. Study design varied with multiple methods used to evaluate effectiveness of barrier treatments. Barrier treatments were effective at lowering mosquito populations although there was variation between studies and for different mosquito species. Factors other than AI, such as exposure to rainfall and application equipment used, also influenced control efficacy.
Many of the basic questions on the effectiveness of barrier insecticide applications have been answered, but several important details still must be investigated to improve precision and impact on vector-borne pathogen transmission. Recommendations are made to assist future evaluations of barrier treatments for mosquito control and to limit the potential development of insecticide resistance.
屏障杀虫剂处理在蚊虫控制项目中有着悠久的历史,但近年来在美国更频繁地用于控制入侵的“后院”物种(如 )以及媒介传播疾病(如寨卡病毒病)发病率的上升。
我们回顾了过去74年(1944 - 2018年)发表的关于调查屏障处理用于蚊虫控制的研究文献。我们检索了诸如PubMed、科学网和谷歌学术等数据库,以获取全球范围内关于屏障处理的文献。
纳入了44项评估20种活性成分(AI)和21种制剂产品针对多种蚊虫物种的研究。研究的杀虫剂效力包括有机氯(二氯二苯三氯乙烷[滴滴涕]、β - 六氯环己烷[六六六])、有机磷(马拉硫磷)和拟除虫菊酯(联苯菊酯、溴氰菊酯、氯菊酯、高效氯氟氰菊酯)作为活性成分。研究设计各不相同,采用了多种方法来评估屏障处理的效果。屏障处理在降低蚊虫数量方面是有效的,尽管不同研究以及针对不同蚊虫物种之间存在差异。除活性成分外的其他因素,如降雨暴露和使用的施用设备,也影响控制效果。
关于屏障杀虫剂应用效果的许多基本问题已经得到解答,但仍有几个重要细节必须进行研究,以提高精确度并影响媒介传播病原体的传播。提出了相关建议,以协助未来对蚊虫控制屏障处理的评估,并限制杀虫剂抗性的潜在发展。
