Residual Insecticide Efficacy Evaluation (2011)

Darryl McGinn in conjunction with the Australian Army Malaria Institute undertook multi-phase evaluation of the effectiveness of residual insecticide (Bifenthrin Suspension Concentrate) treatment of military tents (canvas 8X8) to minimise mosquito exposure to personnel. Laboratory dose-response testing was completed, treatment longevity assessments were made by bio-assay on test swatches of tent material weather exposed over time, evaluation in replicated controlled field experiments of tents located at Army Training Base – Mt Bundy. See attached paper.
