Entomological assessment of hessian fabric transfluthrin vapour emanators for protecting against outdoor-biting Aedes aegypti in coastal Tanzania. by Nicodem J Govella, Alphonce Assenga, Amos T Mlwale, Nosrat Mirzai, Eimear Heffernan, Jennie Moriarty, John Wenger, Vincent Corbel, Justin McBeath, Sheila B Ogoma, Gerry F Killeen

“…Air samples collected immediately downwind from an emanator treated with the highest transfluthrin dose (15g), contained 12 to 19 μg/m3 transfluthrin vapour.<h4>Conclusions</h4>It appears unlikely that the moderate levels of pyrethroid resistance observed in wild Ae. aegypti can explain the modest-to-undetectable levels of protection exhibited. …”
