Best approach 1) Not effective if
used alone
2) Resistance to
chemicals
have been
seen
Through use of
small fishes
e.g.;
1) Filling &
drainage of

collection =
Anopheles

2) Residual sprays : DDT/Malathion/Lindane
3) Genetic Control
1) Mosquito Nets
2) Repellants : Diethyltoluamide

- Size of each hole diameter = <0.0475inch / 0.12cm

21. -It is a Contact Poison/Nerve poison
- Takes several hours to kill
- Residual action : 18months Very
Impo
rtant

22. Ans. Nerve Poison/contact poiso

25. Q.Following are larval control measures exce
A) DDT
B) Paris green
C) Gambusia
D) Eradication of breeding places

26. Ans. DDT
Anti – larval measures are broadly grouped into:
1. Larvicides:
a. Chemicals – larvicidal oils, paris green, temephos
b. Biolarvicides – fishes like gambusia, lebister etc
2. Source reduction: drainage or filling, deepening or flushing, management
changing the salt content of water & intermittent irrigation
3. Integrated control: bioenvironmental as well as personal protective measu
DDT is not used as a larvicide. It is an anti-adult measure of vector control.

28. The following statement about DDT is fa
A)Pyrethrum has synergistic action
B) It is a contact poison
C) Immediately kills the prey
D) Residual effect lasts for 18 months

29. Ans. C Immediately kills the prey
Ref: Park textbook of S.P.M
- DDT is primarily a contact poison, acting on the
nervous system of insects. It does not cause immediate
death but takes several hours to kill.
The residual action may last as long as 18 months
depending upon the treated surface. It has no repellant
action.
Most space sprays contain pyrethrum & DDT or other
synthetic insecticides which are added for synergistic
action.
Some imp facts about DDT: the technical DDT contains
70-80% of para-para isomer which is the most active
fraction of DDT.

30. Q. Which insect among the following is not resi
to DDT?
A) Musca domestica
B) Phlebotomus
C) culex
D)Anopheles stephensi

31. Ans. B) Phlebotomus
Resistance to DDT has not been demonstrated by sand
Phlebotomous.
All other agents mentioned in the question are known to
varying degrees of resistance to DDT.

32. Q. Which of the following insecticide is of p
origin: (DNB June 09)
A) Paris green
B) Propoxur
C) malathion
D) Pyrethrum

33. Ans. D Pyrethrum Ref: Park textbook of S.P.M
Pyrethrum is extracted from the flowers of Chrysanthemum
It is an excellent space spray.

34. Paris green is useful for killing: (DNB De
A) Anopheline larvae only
B) Culicine larvae only
C) Adult mosquitoes
D) None

35. Ans. A Anopheline larvae only Ref: Park textbook of S.P
Paris Green kills mainly the anopheles larvae because An
on surface and paris green floats on surface of water and
Sinks.
Bottom feeding larvae are also killed when Paris green is
special granular formation.

36. Q. Malathion spray is effective for:
A) One month
B) Two months
C) Three months
D) Four months

37. Ans. C )Three months Ref: Park textbook of S.P.M
Malathion is used in the doses of 100-200 mg square fo
every three months.
It has least toxicity of all organophosphorus compounds

38. Q. Dose of malathion used for residual insecticidal acti
A. 100-200 mg/sq. foot
B. 25-50 mg/sq. foot
C. 10-20 mg/sq. foot
D. 500-1000 mg/sq. foot

39. Ans. A 100-200 mg/sq. foot Ref: Park TEXTBOOK OF S
Dose of malathion used for residual insecticidal action is
100-200 mg/square foot area.
Dose of DDT used for residual insecticidal action is also
100-200 mg. per square foot area.

40. Q. The breeding place for anopheles mosquito is:
A) Dirty water
B) Seawater
C) Free flowing water
D) Clean water

41. D) Clean water Ref: Park textbook of S.P.M
In general, the Anopheline prefer clean water for breeding
Culicines prefer dirty and polluted water;
Aedes prefer artificial collections of water.
The MANSONIA breeds in water containing certain types
aquatic vegetation.
