First determination of impact and outcome indicators following indoor residual spraying (IRS) with deltamethrin in a new focus of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in Iran
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: To determine the impact and outcome indicators following residual spraying with deltamethrin in new focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis during 2010-2011. Methods: Deltamethrin WP 5% was applied at 25 mg a.i/m2.in intervention area using Hudson compression sprayer. Sticky trap were used to collect sand flies twice each month from human and animal dwelling in either or intervention and control areas. Results: The incidence of disease was significantly decreased (3.65 versus 8.43). There was a significant difference between treats and control areas on blood fed and gravidity of sand flies. Conclusions: The results of current study clearly indicated that indoor residual spraying caused a significant decline of density, blood fed and gravidity of vectors resulting a sharp reduction of disease incidence.
