Disease relevance of Temefos

  • In the present study, four populations of the same field mosquito species, Ochlerotatus cataphylla, were sampled over the Rh6ne-Alpes region (France), and their respective sensitivity to the organophosphate temephos and the bacterio-insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) was measured [1].
  • Temephos (Abate) metabolism and toxicity in rats [2].
  • Use of temephos larvicide in solid form for the control of onchocerciasis in Guatemala [3].
  • Resistance of the dengue vector to temephos stimulated its substitution for Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) since 2001 in Brazil [4].
  • A study to evaluate the impact of different dose/frequency of temephos 50% ec for control of Cx. quinquefasciatus vector of bancroftian filariasis [5].
 

High impact information on Temefos

  • The present study identifies an alpha 1AT allele (referred to as "Null(isola di procida")) caused by complete deletion of the alpha 1AT coding exons [6].
  • Larvicidal efficacy against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes of zedoary oil and its formulated preparation, zedoary oil-impregnated sand granules, were investigated and compared with that of Abate(R)sand (temephos) [7].
  • In July 1997, telemedicine services were established for two islands, Procida and Ischia, in the Bay of Naples [8].
  • Efficacy of polyvinyl chloride collars containing temephos [0,0'-(thiodi-4,1-phenylene) 0,0,0',0'-tetramethyl bis-(phosphorothioate)] was elevaluated in dogs and cats against the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) [9].
  • The selected larvicides included, two organophosphate (OP) compounds (temephos and pirimiphos-methyl), two microbial larvicides (Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis [Bti] de Barjac and Bacillus sphaericus [Bs] Neide), and an insect growth regulator (IGR) (s-methoprene) [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Temefos

  • Larvicides remain as an important salt-marsh integrated pest management tool with the greatest acreage being treated with temephos, followed by Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis and methoprene [11].
  • Additionally, the treated population has demonstrated resistance to temephos (Abate), the larvicide currently utilized in the Onchocerciasis Control Programme. Other species of Simulium were somewhat less affected by the treatment; living larvae were found 4 km downstream of the treatment point [12].
 

Biological context of Temefos

  • Cloning and mapping of the Null(isola di procida) gene demonstrated a deletion of a 17-kb fragment that included exons II-V of the alpha 1AT structural gene [6].
  • The impact of mosquito control on nontarget organisms using Abate-4-E was investigated in terms of immediate mortality and residual activity [13].
  • In this same year the Brazilian Health Foundation started the coordination of the Ae. aegypti Insecticide Resistance Monitoring Program. In the context of this program, our group was responsible for the detection of temephos resistance in a total of 12 municipalities in the states of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Alagoas (AL), and Sergipe (SE) during 2001 [14].
  • However, temephos at concentrations above 3.33 micro M was mutagenic to TA98NR, YG7104 and YG7108, both with and without metabolic activation [15].
  • Effects of an organophosphorus insecticide (Temephos) on gametogenesis in the leech Hirudinaria manillensis (Hirudinidae) [16].
 

Associations of Temefos with other chemical compounds

  • The susceptibility of Aedes aegypti (L.) larvae from several Brazilian populations to the juvenile hormone analog methoprene and the organophosphate insecticide temephos were investigated [17].
  • Both alleles provide low but significant resistance to chlorpyrifos (relative synergism ratio [RSR] > 3) and temephos (RSR = 1.4), which is consistent with the low level of gene amplification they display (15 copies for Ester9 and 4 copies for Ester8) [18].
  • Intensive use of the organophosphate insecticide malathion against adults and temephos against larvae of Aedes aegypti in Mexico over the past 30 years has led to problems requiring the use of new larvicides [19].
  • This study was conducted to investigate the preliminary environmental and mammalian toxicology of neem oil, temephos and chlorpyriphos-methyl/fenitrothion [20].
  • The larvicidal activity of chlorpyrifos-methyl and temephos was evaluated against Culex pipiens L [21].
 

Gene context of Temefos

  • The esterase inhibitor (S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate, DEF) or synergist implicated detoxifying esterase in all the temephos selected groups and the presence of elevated esterase were confirmed by biochemical assay [22].
  • While R. culicivorax did not adapt to the leaf axil habitat, all plants were without larvae for 5 weeks after treatment with temephos [23].
  • Adult A. sundaicus were found highly susceptible to DDT and larvae to Temephos (Abate) [24].
