Abstract

Culex quinquefasciatus is the vector of several life-threatening diseases. In addition to spreading disease, it is a source of irritation due to its relative abundance. Vector control strategies particularly chemical control are employed to combat the spread of vector-borne diseases. Synthetic pyrethroids such as permethrin (Type I) and alphacypermethrin (Type II) are recommended for indoor residual spray, long-lasting insecticidal treated nets, outdoor fogging and liquid vaporizer mosquito repellent.
