Research Project: Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Impregnated Materials for Management of Stable Flies Around Livestock Facilities

Location: Mosquito and Fly Research Unit

Project Number: 6615-32000-047-01
Project Type: Trust

Start Date: Dec 01, 2011
End Date: Nov 30, 2013

Objective:
The objective of this cooperative project is to confirm efficacy of treated materials to kill stable flies over extended periods of time under laboratory and field conditions.

Approach:
Insecticide-treated fabrics will be bioassayed in the laboratory to obtain LT50s for each fabric type. Fabrics will be placed in the field around livestock research facilities in Ghana, Kenya and other African countries for management of biting flies.
