ABSTRACT
Hormozgan Province is located in the south of Iran bordering the Persian Gulf. In this area, malaria is still considered a major health problem. In the province, eleven species of Anopheles were identified An. pulcherrimus, An. sergenti, An. apoci, An. multicolor, An. subpictus, An. turkhudi, An. fluviatilis, An. stephensi, An. d'thali, An. superpictus, and An. culicifacies, among which only the last five species play an important role in malaria transmission. Larval habitats of malaria vectors varied from clean to brackish water, as well as sewage water, under palm trees, marshland, pools, pounds, drainage, irrigation canals, wells, and water containers. Malathion, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, and temephos were tested against An. stephensi, An. fluviatilis and An. d' thali larvae at diagnostic doses recommended by WHO. The results showed susceptibility to malathion, chlorpyrifos and temephos, but fenitrothion was not able to yield 100% mortality.
