The study evaluated the efficacy and residual activity of SumiLarv 2MR, SumiLarv 0.5G, and Abate 1SG (used as a positive control) against Anopheles stephensi larvae in Awash Subath Kilo, Afar Regional State, Ethiopia, using a semi-field experimental setup. Plastic containers with capacities of 100L and 250L were used to assess the residual efficacy of SumiLarv 2MR. Specifically, four 100L containers were each treated with one disc of SumiLarv 2MR, compared to two untreated controls. Similarly, four 250L containers received one disc each, with two untreated controls. Additionally, eight 250L containers were treated with a half-dose to match one disc per 500L, alongside four untreated controls. For SumiLarv 0.5G and Abate 1SG, four 100L containers were treated with each larvicide, with two untreated controls for each. Each container received 20-25 third and fourth instar An. stephensi larvae. Observations of adult emergence were conducted until all pupae either emerged or died. Results showed that SumiLarv 2MR demonstrated a nine-month residual efficacy, SumiLarv 0.5G provided seven weeks of efficacy, and Abate 1SG showed a five-week efficacy. Additionally, SumiLarv 2MR discs retained nearly 50% of their initial pyriproxyfen content after nine months, suggesting potential for extended residual activity. This study highlights the long-term effectiveness of SumiLarv 2MR's as a larvicide against An. stephensi in Ethiopia.
该研究在埃塞俄比亚阿法尔州阿瓦什苏巴特基洛,采用半田间试验装置,评估了SumiLarv 2MR、SumiLarv 0.5G和Abate 1SG(用作阳性对照)对斯氏按蚊幼虫的有效性和残留活性。使用容量为100升和250升的塑料容器评估SumiLarv 2MR的残留效果。具体而言,四个100升的容器各用一片SumiLarv 2MR处理,与之相比有两个未处理的对照。同样,四个250升的容器各接受一片,有两个未处理的对照。此外,八个250升的容器用半剂量处理,以达到每500升一片的剂量,同时有四个未处理的对照。对于SumiLarv 0.5G和Abate 1SG,四个100升的容器分别用每种杀幼虫剂处理,每种有两个未处理的对照。每个容器放入20 - 25只斯氏按蚊的三龄和四龄幼虫。观察成虫羽化情况,直到所有蛹要么羽化要么死亡。结果表明,SumiLarv 2MR显示出九个月的残留效果,SumiLarv 0.5G有七周的效果,Abate 1SG有五周的效果。此外,九个月后SumiLarv 2MR片剂仍保留了近50%的初始吡丙醚含量,表明其具有延长残留活性的潜力。这项研究突出了SumiLarv 2MR作为埃塞俄比亚针对斯氏按蚊的杀幼虫剂的长期有效性。
