Abate and Dursban Against Aedes Aegypti (L.) Breeding in Concrete Water Jars in Bangkok, Thailand

Abstract

Tests conducted in Thailand by Lofgren et al. (1967) in 1965 showed that Abate (registered trademark) (0,0-dimethyl phosphorothioate 0,0-diester with 4,4 thiodiphenol) and Dursban (registered trademark) (0,0-diethyl 0-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate) were effective in controlling breeding of Aedes aegypti (L.) in concrete water storage jars. This paper describes further testing in 1965 and 1966 with both compounds and compares the effectiveness of various formulations of Abate.
