Kelly 1997 BRA | Chicken sheds | Sheets impregnated with lambdacyhalothrin (20 mg/m²) installed 1 meter from the chicken shed. | Lu. longipalpis | Geometric mean sandflies (light traps) | 622.3 (October 1993) |
404.6 (October 1993) |
Not reported | Not reported | The trial authors state "the abundance in sheds was approximately 50% below that expected on the first day falling to about 80% at week 12 ‐ the only time the difference was statistically significant". |
