For #WorldDengueDay, a selection of papers on mosquitoes 🦟 [2025] Bioassay tests reveal for the first time pyrethroid resistance in Aedes mosquitoes from Franceville, southeast Gabon, Central Africa doi.org/10.1051/parasite/202…

Pyrethroid resistance is changing how soybean aphids are managed in North Dakota. 🪲 NDSU research shows which insecticide groups are most effective against resistant aphids, while ongoing surveys monitor soybean gall midge presence across the state. Learn more: bit.ly/ResistantSoyAphids

#Aligarh 🚨 Health Alert 🚨 HICA की चेतावनी: सस्ती और अवैध मच्छर अगरबत्तियां बन सकती हैं जानलेवा ! "₹10 की अगरबत्ती... हजारों की बीमारी!" सस्ती नहीं, सुरक्षित चुनिए - क्योंकि धुआं सीधे फेफड़ों तक पहुंचता है। ◾HICA ने क्या चेतावनी दी? Home Insect Control Association (HICA) के अनुसार बाजार में बिक रही कई सस्ती, बिना रजिस्ट्रेशन वाली और नकली मच्छर अगरबत्तियों में ऐसे रसायनों का इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है जो स्वास्थ्य के लिए गंभीर खतरा पैदा कर सकते हैं। कई उत्पाद "Herbal" या "Natural" के नाम पर बेचे जाते हैं, लेकिन उनमें बिना मंजूरी वाले या गलत तरीके से इस्तेमाल किए गए कीटनाशी रसायन पाए जा सकते हैं। ◾ कौन-कौन से केमिकल चिंता का कारण हैं? 1. Dimefluthrin ▪️ सिंथेटिक Pyrethroid कीटनाशी। ▪️अधिक मात्रा या खराब गुणवत्ता होने पर आंखों में जलन, सिरदर्द, चक्कर और सांस लेने में परेशानी हो सकती है। 2. Meperfluthrin ▪️ मच्छर भगाने में प्रभावी रसायन। ▪️ केवल सरकार से स्वीकृत मात्रा और पंजीकृत उत्पादों में ही सुरक्षित माना जाता है। 3. Fenobucarb (BPMC) ▪️Carbamat वर्ग का कीटनाशी। ▪️ गलत उपयोग से मतली, उल्टी, चक्कर, सांस लेने में दिक्कत और तंत्रिका तंत्र पर असर पड़ सकता है। ◾बच्चों को क्या नुकसान हो सकता है? ▪️ बच्चों के फेफड़े और प्रतिरक्षा प्रणाली पूरी तरह विकसित नहीं होती। ◾संभावित जोखिम: • सांस लेने में तकलीफ • बार-बार खांसी • एलर्जी • आंख और नाक में जलन • अस्थमा के मरीजों में अटैक का खतरा बढ़ सकता है। ◾बड़ों को क्या नुकसान हो सकता है, लगातार धुएं के संपर्क में रहने से: • सिरदर्द • आंखों में जलन • गले में खराश • सांस लेने में परेशानी • एलर्जी • अस्थमा या COPD के मरीजों की स्थिति बिगड़ सकती है। ◾किन लोगों को सबसे ज्यादा सावधान रहना चाहिए? ▪️ छोटे बच्चे ▪️ गर्भवती महिलाएं ▪️ बुजुर्ग ▪️अस्थमा या फेफड़ों के मरीज ▪️ एलर्जी वाले लोग ◾कौन-सी अगरबत्ती खरीदें? हमेशा वही उत्पाद लें जिन पर CIBRC (CIR) Registration Number लिखा हो और जो विश्वसनीय ब्रांड के हों। उदाहरण: ▪️Good Knight ▪️ Mortein ▪️ Maxo ▪️ All Out ▪️ Hit ◾किनसे बचें? ▪️ बिना ब्रांड वाली अगरबत्ती ▪️ बिना CIBRC नंबर वाले उत्पाद ▪️ बहुत सस्ते स्थानीय उत्पाद ▪️ नकली पैकिंग वाले प्रोडक्ट ◾केमिकल नहीं चाहते? ये प्राकृतिक विकल्प अपनाएं ▪️ Citronella Oil ▪️ Neem Oil ▪️ Lemongrass Oil ▪️ Eucalyptus Oil इनके साथ: ▪️ मच्छरदानी का उपयोग करें। ▪️ खिड़कियों पर जाली लगाएं। ▪️ घर के आसपास पानी जमा न होने दें। ◾खरीदने से पहले क्या जांचें? ▪️ CIBRC (CIR) Registration Number ▪️ निर्माता का नाम ▪️ बैच नंबर ▪️ निर्माण व एक्सपायरी डेट ▪️ उपयोग करने के निर्देश 🚨 निष्कर्ष: हर धुआं मच्छर नहीं भगाता, कुछ धुआं आपकी सेहत भी बिगाड़ सकता है। सस्ती अगरबत्ती नहीं, सुरक्षित और रजिस्टर्ड प्रोडक्ट चुनिए। नोट: "लेबल पढ़िए, CIBRC नंबर देखिए, क्योंकि परिवार की सुरक्षा सबसे पहले।" #BreakingToday #HealthAlert #HICA #BreakingNews #MosquitoRepellent #PublicHealth #CIBRC #GoodKnight #Mortein #Maxo #AllOut #Hit #India

あーなるほど。地下鉄、その他私鉄も考えるとビックサイトの方が行きやすい場合があるのですね。疑問がとけました！

Galil contains Bifenthrin (a synthetic pyrethroid) and Imidacloprid (a neonicotinoid). Imidacloprid is a common one but Bifenthrin is a rare molecule. Maybe that's why it is expensive. @zealous_farmer works directly with Galil, he can tell us.

Tracking kdr Alleles Associated with Pyrethroid Resistance in Aedes albopictus across Italy: A Nationwide Genotypic Dataset by MosqIRIT Network. dlvr.it/TSzWHP bioRxivpreprint

Navigator 100SC is a professional public health care synthetic pyrethroid insecticide which controls a wide range of insects especially cockroaches, mosquitoes and bedbugs in domestic premises, public buildings and industrial places. imaginecare.co.ke/product/na…

Coupled with SIT, pyrethroid, doramectin, ivermectin, debriding, dressing are just about 100% effective. Thanks to our enlarged 230-strong Federal-contracted field workers. Yes. And i don't even have a degree in animal science. This here is Texas.

They actually failed to make mosquitoes infectious with bacteria so they began to spread millions of lab grown mosquitoes,in the same targeted warzones they spread chemical poisons e.g pyrethroid, organophosphate, chlorine etc to prduce the desired mosquito bourne EPIDEMIC effect

Slug pressure on the rise in IA. Just another great reason to use newfieldsag.com/products/bio…. Even if you use a cheap pyrethroid it can be expensive.

2) •Resistance concerns: While no confirmed ivermectin resistance in C. hominivorax has been documented (as of the available literature), heavy reliance on macrocyclic lactones in cattle operations has driven resistance in other ectoparasites like horn flies and ticks. The literature consistently warns against using ivermectin as the sole control method. •Wound management still required: Dead larvae left in wounds create a nidus for secondary bacterial infection. Studies emphasize that ivermectin doesn't replace physical wound cleaning. 🧪 Practical Protocol (Distilled from Literature) Scenario Dose Expected Effect Prophylaxis (castration/dehorning) 200 µg/kg SC, day of procedure ~14 days protection (standard), ~35–42 days (LA formulation) Active infestation treatment 200 µg/kg SC Larval death within 48–72 hours High-risk endemic zone LA formulation every 42 days during peak season Suppression, not elimination Always pair with: wound inspection, manual cleaning, topical organophosphate/pyrethroid application, and environmental fly control. The bottom line from the literature: ivermectin is a useful tool in screwworm control — particularly for prophylaxis around planned wound events — but it's a component of integrated management, not a standalone solution. The sterile insect technique remains the only method that achieves eradication at a population level.

🦟 Google's 32M Mosquito Dump — Rapid Risk Rundown The Plan •32 million lab-bred male mosquitoes (16M/yr per state) across CA, FL, NJ •Infected with Wolbachia pipientis — mates with wild females → eggs don't hatch → population collapse •Targets Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus (dengue, Zika, West Nile, St. Louis encephalitis vectors) •EPA comment deadline: June 5, 2026 •Google's already dumped 1 billion across 4 continents. Singapore: 70% dengue drop. Central Valley: near-elimination at test sites. Real Risks 🔴 Sex-Sorting Failures •No separation tech is perfect. Fertile Wolbachia-infected females inevitably get released by accident •Result: population replacement, not suppression — Wolbachia permanently embeds in wild genetics •Google's EPA app doesn't detail whether they're using irradiation backup (SIT-IIT combo) to sterilize escapees •This is the #1 documented failure mode in the literature 🔴 Genetic Homogenization •Centralized lab → mass release across diverse ecosystems = genetic monoculture imposed on wild populations •Brazil trial nearly collapsed: lab mosquitoes lacked local pyrethroid resistance, got slaughtered •Risk of genetic hitchhiking: accidentally spreading higher vector competence, pesticide resistance, or more aggressive biting behavior •Long-term studies on this: zero 🟡 Horizontal Transmission — Unchecked •Wolbachia infects ~50% of insect species naturally •Official line: "unlikely" to jump to non-target species •Reality: no post-release surveys have ever been done to check if transinfection occurred in predatory insects or niche-sharing species •Probably fine for vertebrates — bacteria can't survive outside insect cells — but "probably" ≠ "confirmed" 🟡 Complacency Spiral •If program works → public stops personal mosquito control → if program ever falters (funding, resistance, logistics) → naive population with zero defenses → rebound worse than baseline •Indonesian risk model flagged this as high consequence 🔴 Corporate Accountability Void •This is a data company running an ecological experiment — Debug is as much about AI/robotics R&D as public health •Release locations: not disclosed — just "up to 800 acres per state" •What happens to the data? Who monitors long-term? What's the off-ramp? •EPA's "experimental use permit" framework wasn't designed for tech giants releasing billions of GMOs What's Actually Fine •Males don't bite — no increased nuisance biting •Wolbachia can't infect humans — physiologically incompatible •Targeting invasive species, not native — food web disruption argument is weak •The core tech works and is clever Verdict •Not acutely dangerous to humans — you won't get sick from this •Chronically reckless at this scale with this oversight gap •12.5% probability of "causing more harm" (per formal risk model) isn't trivial when you're talking permanent ecosystem alteration •Classic pattern: deploy big, study consequences later — except "later" means after the genetics are already in the wild •June 5 deadline is absurdly short for proper scrutiny of the largest GMO insect release in US history

so the population of the mosquitos 🦟 is low so now it has to survive super bugs and and increase the incubation period of those virus 🦠 and pyrethroid resistance to pesticides in the water 💦 supply Wolbachia only works on specific mosquito species so it can inbred or outbred

Flea beetles have been active across the province, and with temperatures climbing, remember pyrethroid insecticides are less effective in hot weather. The latest @CanolaWatch has timely info on flea beetles, weeds and more. Read it here: canolacouncil.org/canola-wat…
