TI  - Evaluation of deltamethrin-impregnated bed nets and curtains for control of 
      zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in a hyperendemic area of Iran.
PG  - 43-8
AB  - In the study carried out in the rural district of Borkhar (Isfahan, Iran) from 
      March 2003 to March 2004 efficacy of deltamethrin impregnated bed nets (IBs) and 
      curtains (ICs), polyester mesh size 156 holes/ inch2, (25 holes/cm2) were 
      compared to that of non-impregnated bed nets (NIBs) and curtains (NICs), in 
      relation to zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL) control. Deltamethrin 
      impregnated bed nets and curtains at 25 mg a.i./m2 were distributed among 168 
      households in one of the villages and NIBs plus NICs among the same number of 
      households in another village. In the third village similar numbers of households 
      were used as control. Health education messages were disseminated to ensure the 
      population's compliance with the proper use of bed nets and curtains in the two 
      intervention areas. Entomological surveys using sticky paper traps were carried 
      out in ten households in each village for the collection of sand flies from 
      indoors and outdoors, every two weeks to assess the impact of insecticide 
      impregnated bed nets and curtains on the density of Phlebotomus papatasi. 
      Deltamethrin susceptibility tests and also bioassay tests were carried out on 
      this species by WHO standard method. Case findings were done by house-to-house 
      visits once a season and all the inhabitants of the selected households in each 
      village were examined. The results showed that IBs and ICs can provide a definite 
      personal protection against sand fly bites and interrupted the transmission of 
      ZCL in the intervention village. NIBs and NICs did not provide any protection 
      against the disease. There was no significant difference in monthly density of P. 
      papatasi in indoors and outdoors among the villages (P > 0.05). Susceptibility 
      tests showed that this species was susceptible to deltamethrin in the field 
      population in the area. Bioassays confirmed that the treated nets with 
      deltamethrin remain effective for more than three months and was an excellent 
      mean of individual protection. It is recommended that IBs and ICs can be used 
      widely in the control of ZCL in other similar foci such as hyperendemic and 
      mesoendemic areas of Iran.
