[Current data on the biology and response to insecticides of Anopheles mosquitoes in former endemic zones of southern Romania].
In the 1976-1980 period biological and ecologic investigations were carried out on the Anopheles fauna in the former endemic malarial areas in the Danube plains and the Dobrogea. Due to the changes in the ecology of the region new aspects were observed among this fauna: 1) reduced anopheles density as compared to previous years; 2) change in the proportion of the Anopheles species; 3) resistance of the Anopheles to organochloride insecticides and sensitivity to organophosphoric and carbamate insecticides. The authors recommend the use of the Ficam W insecticide in doses of 0.3 g active substance per square meter for disinfestation against mosquitoes in houses.
