fenthion and Malaria

fenthion has been researched along with Malaria in 5 studies

Fenthion: Potent cholinesterase inhibitor used as an insecticide and acaricide.
fenthion : An organic thiophosphate that is O,O-dimethyl hydrogen phosphorothioate in which the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group is replaced by a 3-methyl-4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl group. It exhibits acaricidal and insecticidal activities.

Malaria: A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

" Of the insecticides readily available for house-spraying for malaria control, malathion would appear to be the one with the greatest potential usefulness."3.66Recent developments of insecticide resistance in some Turkish anophelines. ( Davidson, G; Herath, PR; Ramsdale, CD, 1980)
" Fenthion is promising as a residual spray in malaria eradication, but information on its human toxicology is scanty."3.64OBSERVATIONS ON HUMAN EXPOSURE TO THE ORGANOPHOSPHORUS INSECTICIDE FENTHION IN NIGERIA. ( TAYLOR, A, 1963)
