Malathion insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti: laboratory conditions and in situ experimental approach through adult entomological surveillance

Abstract: objective In Brazil, the most common method of controlling outbreaks of arbovirus is by the use of chemical sprays, which kill the insect vector, Aedes aegypti. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of Ae. aegypti to the insecticide, malathion, in situ. The location of this study was the municipality of Foz do Iguaçu, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. methods Ultra-low-volume (ULV) fogging equipment was used, by vehicle, to apply the insecticide in situ, and mosquito populations after t… Show more

“…This difference in susceptible status is due to differences in the pattern of insecticide use in each region (Ambarita et al, 2015), community mobility, such as tourists, migrants, and job seekers which increase the risk of disease entry and the spread of several vectors including Ae. agypti (Leandro et al, 2020). This study showed that the longer Ae.…”

“…Thus, within 5 days of starting trap inspection, additional entomologic information, such as geographic position of traps, the infestation index, and the choropleth maps, were made available for local health managers. In the early hours of the next business day, the local health manager could meet with field supervisors to decide which area to prioritize and which vector control activities to perform considering local contexts (45,46). Therefore, a week after the start of Adultrap inspection, the dengue transmission risk among the 73 areas of Foz do Iguaçu would be known by the local health managers, triggering vector control interventions in prioritized areas.…”

“…O uso constante desses insumos tem levado as populações de Ae. aegypti, principal organismo alvo das estratégias de controle, a desenvolverem variados e preocupantes níveis de resistência a todas as classes de pesticidas atualmente utilizadas (Macoris et al, 2003;Macoris et al, 2007;Valle et al 2019;Leandro et al, 2020). Dessa forma, a efetividade dessa metodologia de controle é questionada, visto que organismos não alvo, como as abelhas sem ferrão -que desempenham funções ecológicas fundamentais em áreas urbanas -, podem estar sendo mais afetados que os organismos para os quais o controle químico é destinado.…”
