Role of synthetic pyrethroids in vector control.
The role of synthetic pyrethroids in vector control has been reviewed in the light of available literature. Various reports on field and laboratory trials indicate the safety and effectiveness of synthetic pyrethroids against vectors of public health importance without any untoward effect on non-target organisms. The prospects of these insecticides in the vector control have been discussed with cautious optimism.
