Abstract: Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a deadly disease transmitted by the sand fly Phlebotomus argentipes on the Indian subcontinent, with a promising means of vector control being orally treating cattle with fipronil-based drugs. While prior research investigating the dynamic relationship between timing of fipronil-based control schemes and the seasonality of sand flies provides insights into potential of treatment on a large scale, ecological uncertainties remain. We investigated how uncertainties associ… Show more

“…When cattle are treated with insecticides against tsetse flies or trypanocides against the parasites, it reduces the abundance of vectors and parasites thus preventing transmission of HAT (49, 50, 51, 135). Insecticidal or acaricidal treatment of cattle also has positive impacts in controlling other mosquito vectors (136), blackflies (137), leishmaniasis (138, 139, 140) and preventing tick-borne diseases in non-integrated ecosystems (141, 142).…”

“…argentipes , P . papatasi) , causing an effect of almost total larvae/adult mortality (80% to 100%) lasting for 3 to 6 weeks [ 61 64 ]. Protection of dogs, the principal Leishmania infantum reservoir host, from sand fly bites is commonly mediated by slow-release insecticide IDCs that maintain an antifeeding and insect-killing activity for approximately 6 to 8 months ( Table 1 ).…”

“…Poche et al., published a series of papers on the effectiveness of treating cattle with a systemic insecticide, fipronil, as an effective tool for control of sand fly populations ( Poche et al., 2013 ; Poche et al., 2020 ). In a controlled study, 100% mortality was observed in both adult sand flies and larvae that fed on cattle treated orally with one dose of 4 mg fipronil/kg, or their feces, respectively ( Poche et al., 2013 ).…”

“…In a controlled study, 100% mortality was observed in both adult sand flies and larvae that fed on cattle treated orally with one dose of 4 mg fipronil/kg, or their feces, respectively ( Poche et al., 2013 ). The same group then used a series of simulations and showed that if 50% of sand flies fed on cattle treated with fipronil over 12 months, the intervention would be 52–62% effective in reducing sand fly numbers ( Poche et al., 2020 ). This probability increased to 89–97% if the model also assumed that more than 50% of sand flies also oviposited in feces of treated cattle ( Poche et al., 2020 ).…”
