title: A field trial with etofenprox (OMS 3002) as a residual insecticide against malaria vectors, in Tanjung Bunga district, east Flores, Indonesia.
abstract: An operational trial of Vectron (Etofenprox, OMS 3002) was conducted in East Flores Regency, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. The compound (Etofenprox 10EW) was applied as indoor residual spray and as an impregnation treatment for bednets in two separate areas. Dosage in both cases was 0.2 g/m2. A third area, designated as control, was untreated. In bioassay tests, bamboo surfaces gave 100% mortality for 150-160 days post spray, while wooden surfaces and treated bednets both gave complete mortality for at least 120 days. Malaria cases monitored by successive malariometric surveys showed steady declines in positivity rates, particularly in children.
