Abstract
The prevention of bites and the reduction in the rate of attack by insect and other arthropod disease vectors are basic considerations in the control of vector-borne disease. The combined use of permethrin as a toxicant in clothing plus an effective repellent on the skin offers a breakthrough in personal protection methods and in the reduction of arthropod- borne disease transmission among military forces. Impregnation methods herein that do not require sophisticated equipment, need only minimal training to master and are relatively inexpensive, simple and practical. This personal protection programme designed for the Pakistan Armed Forces, become a model for a similar programme throughout the world.
