[The activity of cyfluthrin and cypermethrin-based preparations against the vector of the causative agent of tick-borne relapsing fever].

Laboratory tests have established a high activity and long-term persistence of some cipermethrin isomers (fendone, fastac) and cifluthrin (zolfac) against the tick Ornithodoros papillipes, a carrier of tick-borne relapsing fever. These indices are considerably superior to those of an isomer mixture of cipermethrin (cimbush, ripkord). This can be applied to deltamethrin and cigalothrin.

[The insecticidal activity of thermal aerosols of permethrin].

The aerosols derived from the designed 2% permethrine-containing pyrotechnical formulations (tablets and briquets) were tested for their effects in laboratory and field conditions. When tested in the chamber, its LC50 and LC99 were 0.056 and 0.

[The acaricidal activity of pyrethroids against Ixodes persulcatus P. Sch. nymphs].

The efficiency of 9 drugs based on cipermethrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, lambdacigalothrin, ciphenothrin, phenothrin against hungry I. persulcatus nymphs was studied in the laboratory setting. The values LD50 and LD99 (in g of an active ingredient per m2) were found when the nymphs got into contacts with the treated filter paper for 10 sec and 1 min.
