found no clear evi<strong>de</strong>nce that switching from fenitrothion to <strong>de</strong>ltamethrin would<br />

increase the effectiveness of the control programme against R. prolixus. However,<br />

the results indicated there could be some advantages to this switch, and there was<br />

certainly no suggestion that if the switch was ma<strong>de</strong> (e.g. on health safety grounds)<br />

that this would compromise the control programme’s chances of achieving its targets<br />

for R. prolixus elimination. The possible reasons for the poor effectiveness observed<br />

for <strong>de</strong>ltamethrin on the secondary vector, T. maculata, requires further investigation.<br />
