Abstract
Vector control was carried out in three cycles with ULV technical malathion sprayed from aircraft at the application rate of 500 ml/ha. Successive reductions of 84%, 93.6%, and 96% in the pretreatment density of A. aegypti were attained, a range of 77-98% being observed over a 24-day period.
