Baseline Susceptibility of Culiseta longiareolata (Diptera: Culicidae) to Different Imagicides, in Eastern Azerbaijan, Iran

Abstract


 Background: Culiseta longiareolata is an important vector for many human diseases such as brucellosis, avian influen-za and West Nile encephalitis. It is likely an intermediate host of avian Plasmodium that can transmit Malta fever. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility level of Cs. longiareolata to different classes of imagicides which are recommended by World Health Organization .
 Methods: Larval stages of the Cs. longiareolata were collected from their natural habitats in Marand County at East Azerbaijan Province, northwestern of Iran in 2017. Adult susceptibility test were carried out with using impregnated papers to insecticides including DDT 4%, Cyfluthrin 0.15%, Deltamethrin 0.05%, Propoxur 0.1% and Fenitrothion 1% by standard test kits.
 Results: Results showed that Cs. longiareolata adult is more susceptible to pyrethroid and carbamate insecticides. Among tested insecticides, Cyfluthrin was the most toxic against Cs. longiareolata with LT50 value of 11.53 minutes and Fenitrothion had the least toxic effect (LT50: 63.39 min).
 Conclusions: This study provided a guideline for monitoring and evaluation of insecticide susceptibility tests against Cs. longiareolata mosquitoes for further decision making.

Species Composition and Geographic Distribution of Culicinae Mosquitoes and Their Possible Infection with West Nile Virus in Hormozgan Province, Southern Iran

“…In our study, all three genera of collected mosquitoes were found in natural larval habitats having some vegetation. Among three genera, Culex species approximately were collected from different types of larval habitats and this finding was similar to study conducted in Northwestern Iran ( 21 ). Cx.…”

“…subochrea mosquitoes were collected. In contrast, in East Azerbaijan ( 21 ), Kurdistan and Kermanshah ( 17 ) provinces. Cs.…”

“…Elle est considérée comme vecteur important de plusieurs maladies, telles que la Brucellose, la grippe aviaire, et l'Encéphalite du Nil Occidental (Brunhes et al, 1999). C'est un hôte intermédiaire de Plasmodium aviaire qui peut transmettre la fièvre de Malte (Hazratian et al, 2019). Elle peut aussi provoquer de la Tularémie et des maladies arboviroses (Soltanbeiglu et al, 2020).…”

Pathogenic fungi infection attributes of malarial vectors Anopheles maculipennis and Anopheles superpictus in central Iran

“…There are several reports of insecticide resistance in malaria and West Nile vectors in Iran [13,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75]. Studies on non-pathogenic fungi of mosquitoes are very scarce and have not been done in Iran.…”
