1,1-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane: structure in first source

Leishmaniasis, Visceral: A chronic disease caused by LEISHMANIA DONOVANI and transmitted by the bite of several sandflies of the genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia. It is commonly characterized by fever, chills, vomiting, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, leukopenia, hypergammaglobulinemia, emaciation, and an earth-gray color of the skin. The disease is classified into three main types according to geographic distribution: Indian, Mediterranean (or infantile), and African.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Indoor residual spraying is a simple and cost effective method of controlling endophilic vectors and DDT remains the insecticide of choice for the control of leishmaniasis."4.83Vector control in leishmaniasis. ( Bhattacharya, SK; Das, P; Dinesh, DS; Kesari, S; Kishore, K; Kumar, AJ; Kumar, V, 2006)
"Visceral leishmaniasis, which is also known as kala-azar, reappeared in Bangladesh during the 1980s, approximately 7-8 years after large-scale use of DDT had been abandoned by the malaria eradication programme in the country."3.67Visceral leishmaniasis and its control in Bangladesh. ( Elias, M; Khan, NI; Rahman, AJ, 1989)
"DDT has been used in India only: whereas in the 1990s a good effect could be measured, this effect waned over time."2.82Indoor residual spraying for the control of visceral leishmaniasis: A systematic review. ( Faber, C; Horstick, O; Montenegro Quiñonez, C; Rahman, KM; Runge-Ranzinger, S, 2022)
"DDT has been recommended as part of the arsenal of insecticides available for indoor residual spraying until suitable alternatives are available."2.45Global status of DDT and its alternatives for use in vector control to prevent disease. ( van den Berg, H, 2009)
" Prior long-term use of DDT may have selected for knockdown resistance (kdr) mutants (1014F and S) at the shared DDT and pyrethroid target site, which are common in India and can also cause pyrethroid cross-resistance."1.91Molecular surveillance of insecticide resistance in Phlebotomus argentipes targeted by indoor residual spraying for visceral leishmaniasis elimination in India. ( Ali, A; Bharti, A; Coleman, M; Deb, RM; Mishra, PK; Reid, E; Sharma, S; Shepherd, J; Singh, AM; Singh, C; Singh, RP; Weetman, D, 2023)
" Considering the long-term use of pyrethroids and the possible development of resistance in the vector Phlebotomus argentipes sand flies, we monitored the susceptibility status of their field populations to the insecticides of different classes, in villages with and without IRS activities in recent years."1.72Susceptibility status of the wild-caught Phlebotomus argentipes (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae), the sand fly vector of visceral leishmaniasis, to different insecticides in Nepal. ( Cloots, K; Das, ML; Kiran, U; Pyakurel, UR; Roy, L; S Yadav, R; Smekens, T; Uranw, S; Van Bortel, W, 2022)
"The DDT that was used to control mosquito vectors was also effective against the sandfly vectors of VL."1.30Knowledge, attitudes, and practices about kala-azar and its sandfly vector in rural communities of Nepal. ( Das, ML; Karki, P; Koirala, S; Parija, SC, 1998)
