Our results revealed that insecticide resistance against malathion and propoxur increased from 2007 to 2008. Biochemical assay results showed that the AChE insensitivity for 2 test years and insensitive AChE frequency had increased annually. Our results also showed that extensive usage of organophosphate and carbamate for pest control in agriculture is a key factor for malathion and propoxur resistance in all tested populations rather than direct usage of mosquito control.

“…Although extensive resources are already employed for mosquito control, adverse effects associated with mosquitoes are becoming increasingly severe. Factors such as climate change and global trade promote the dispersion of mosquitoes (Schäfer and Lundström 2009, Weaver and Reisen ); in addition, mosquito control strategies have been thwarted by the development of insecticide resistance (Akiner et al , Melo‐Santos et al ). Consequently, there is a need for more efficient strategies to reduce adverse effects associated with mosquitoes in a changing environment.…”

Newly established ponds, which are highly dynamic systems with changing levels of biological interactions among species, are common larval mosquito habitats. We investigated the impact of crustacean abundance and taxa diversity on mosquito oviposition and larval development. The effects of the biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) on mosquito larvae were monitored according to fluctuations in crustacean communities. Populations of the mosquito Culex pipiens colonized artificial ponds that contained crustacean communities at different time points of colonization by crustaceans: 1) 'no colonization' (no crustaceans), 2) 'simultaneous colonization' by crustaceans and mosquitoes, and 3) 'head-start colonization' by crustaceans (preceding colonization by mosquitoes). All types of ponds were treated with three concentrations of Bti (10, 100, or 1,000 µg/liter). Colonization of all ponds by Cx. pipiens (in terms of oviposition, larval abundance, and larval development) decreased significantly with increasing diversity of crustacean taxa. The total abundance of crustaceans had a minor effect on colonization by Cx. pipiens. The presence of crustaceans increased the sensitivity of Cx. pipiens larvae to Bti treatment by a factor of 10 and delayed the time of recolonization. This effect of Bti was relevant in the short term. In the long term, the presence of Cx. pipiens was determined by crustacean biodiversity.

“…Such basic approach is often preliminary to further studies exploring in-depth the molecular bases of the resistance (Tabashnik et al 2006, Marcombe et al 2009). Bioassays have been performed on numerous field populations of insects with different chemical insecticides (Ocampo et al 2011, Shin et al 2011, Silva et al 2011, Springate & Colvin 2012), but also with biological insecticides such as Bacillus sphaericus (Su & Mulla 2004, Silva et al 2008, Akiner et al 2009) and Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies (Tabashnik et al 1990, Gao et al 2010, Tabashnik & Carriere 2010, Alcantara et al 2011, Gassmann et al 2011).

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) is increasingly used worldwide for mosquito control and is the only larvicide used in the French Rhône-Alpes region since decades. The artificial selection of mosquitoes with field-persistent Bti collected in breeding sites from this region led to a moderate level of resistance to Bti, but to relatively high levels of resistance to individual Bti Cry toxins. Based on this observation, we developed a bioassay procedure using each Bti Cry toxin separately to detect cryptic Bti-resistance evolving in field mosquito populations. Although no resistance to Bti was detected in none of the three mosquito species tested (Aedes rusticus, Aedes sticticus and Aedes vexans), an increased tolerance to Cry4Aa (3.5-fold) and Cry11Aa toxins (8-fold) was found in one Ae. sticticus population compared to other populations of the same species, suggesting that resistance to Bti may be arising in this population. This study confirms previous works showing a lack of Bti resistance in field mosquito populations treated for decades with this bioinsecticide. It also provides a first panorama of their susceptibility status to individual Bti Cry toxins. In combination with bioassays with Bti, bioassays with separate Cry toxins allow a more sensitive monitoring of Bti-resistance in the field.
