Testing information
Test results, using the standard World Health Organization (WHO) insecticide treated surface bioassay method conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), confirmed Mozzi-Mort™‘s ability to eradicate the Anopheles mosquito, the major malaria carrier, in under 8 minutes.
LSHTM has also carried out tests on two other types of mosquito; Aedes aegypti, carrier of Dengue Fever, and culex mosquitoes, carrier of West Nile Disease, both of which Mozzi-Mort™ has been proven to eradicate.
Testing has continued at LSHTM on a bi-annual basis since June 2003 in order to monitor the efficacy of the product over time. Results have shown that Mozzi-Mort™ continues to be effective at least two years after initial application.
In conjunction with the WHO’s 2003 Roll Back Malaria campaign, LSHTM findings have been sent to the World Health Organization in Geneva. As a result, all WHO regional Offices in Africa have been alerted to Mozzi-Mort™.
In addition to the benefits Mozzi-Mort™ offers to the Third World, it is equally of use to the United Nations, whose troops and personnel are regularly called upon to enter areas of natural disaster and war zones where they are often exposed to an abundance of deadly insects, viruses and bacteria.
