“…Pyrethroid resistance was recorded in all the study areas in this study, similar to previous studies in Lagos and Kwara States, Nigeria, reported susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to permethrin (Ayorinde et al, 2015;Oduola, Obembe, Adelaja, & Ande, 2016), though suspected resistance to deltamethrin has been reported in Lagos (Ayorinde et al, 2015) and Umudike, (Ukpai & Ekedo, 2018) both in the southern part of Nigeria. Pyrethroids resistance in Aedes aegypti has also been previously reported in Cameroon (Kamgang et al, 2011;, Burkina Faso (Badolo et al, 2019), Malaysia (Ishak et al, 2017), and several other parts of the world. Selection pressure as a result of indiscriminate usage of insecticides for agricultural, domestic, and public health purposes has been associated with DDT and pyrethroids resistance in mosquitoes (Awolola et al, 2007;Fagbohun, Oyeniyi, Idowu, Otubanjo, & Awolola, 2019;Kamgang et al, 2011).…”
