Summary
WHO specification and evaluation of prallethrin for public-health use.
Key findings
WHO recognizes prallethrin as a registered public-health pyrethroid for household vaporizers, coils, and mats, publishing technical specifications and a low-mammalian-toxicity profile, which gives it international regulatory standing that meperfluthrin lacks.
Limitations
A specification and quality document rather than an efficacy trial.
