PCR-BASED ASSAY TO SURVEY FOR KNOCKDOWN RESISTANCE TO PYRETHROID ACARICIDES IN HUMAN SCABIES MITES (SARCOPTES SCABIEI VAR HOMINIS)
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Permethrin, in the form of a topical cream, is being increasingly used for community-based programs to control endemic scabies. The development of resistance has reduced the use of pyrethroids for the control of many arthropods of economic and health importance.
