[A comparative evaluation of the sensitivity of the vector of tick-borne relapsing fever to pesticides by using the standard test paper].
Standard test paper, recommended by the WHO for the assessment of the arthropod sensitivity, was used to assess the sensitivity of Ornithodoros papillipes, the agent of tick-borne relapsing fever, to a number of pesticides widely used in or holding good promise for the agent control. Poor sensitivity of the tick to dieldrin, malathion, propoxur, bendiocarb (less than 40% of the ticks died after 1 h exposure), satisfactory sensitivity to DDT, and permetrin (60% of the ticks died), and very high sensitivity to deltametrin (100% death of the ticks) were revealed. The authors believe that the ticks will be similarly sensitive to other cyan-containing pyretroids.
