The PHP Program was created to help fill and maintain the toolbox of toxicants, repellents, attractants, and other chemical tools used to manage mosquitoes, ticks, sand flies, and other arthropods that transmit human or animal disease. Major partners include the U.S. Department of Defense's Deployed War-fighter Protection Program and the USDA-ARS. For more information about the IR-4 PHP Program, please contact Program Manager Karl Malamud-Roam at kmr@aesop.rutgers.edu or 732.932.9575 x 4628.

Funding for the IR-4 Public Health Pesticides Program is provided by USDA-ARS and the Deployed War-Fighter Protection Program of the U.S. Armed Forces Pest Management Board.

  • The IR-4 Public Health Pesticides Program maintains the only public access database specifically dedicated to public health pesticides. The PHP Database complements other public information on pesticide chemistry and toxicology by bringing together data on the efficacy of chemical tools against specific public health pests, PHP use patterns, and PHP regulatory status inside and outside the U.S.
