Failure of pyriproxyfen at recommended application frequency and doses to control Aedes mosquitoes in Thailand
Pyriproxyfen failed to control Aedes mosquitoes at the recommended application frequency and doses in the field. The potential reasons for lack of effectiveness may be caused by environmental factors, such as pH, water source, and other water characteristics or social factors, such as homeowners' behaviors and water storage practices. The study underscores the importance of understanding environmental and social factors to tailor application strategies and ensuring sustained efficacy through regular monitoring, particularly in diverse contexts.
