Adulticides and/or larvicides (brand and product name) used (ref Q35c)

Country	Product used
Djibouti	Deltamethrin 0.25%
Iran (Islamic Republic of)	Deltamethrin WG25% and Deltahmethrin ULV1.25%(for adulticides) and Temphose 50 for Larvicides
Iraq	Deltamethrin; Bendiocarb; Spinozide
Jordan	DELTAMETHRIN 2.5% EC TEMEPHOS 50% EC
Libya	For adult we use different types of Pyrethroids - most used is cypermethrin. For larvae we use the Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (Bti) bacteria.
Morocco	Pyréthrinoides : Deltaméthrine, alphacyméthrine... Organophosophrés: Téméphos Régulateurs de croissance: Pyriproxyfène Bacillus thuringiensis
Oman	Gokilaht- Cyphenothrin for adult Abate-Temephos for larva
Pakistan	Use pyrethroids from pre-qualified source (Lambdacyhalothrine, alphacypermethrin, deltamethrin). For larviciding mostly Temephos is used.
Saudi Arabia	pyrethroids pyriproxyfen etc.
Somalia	Icons
Sudan	Adulticides: Permethrin was used in the past 3 years and replaced by Aqua Reslin (Permethrin with PBO) Larvicides by temephos for common breeding sites
Yemen	Adulticiding: Pyrethroid group Larviciding: (1) Temephos (liquid (EC)) and granules; (2) Limitor 5G; and (3) Sumilarv (mentor Initiative project Aden)
