Susceptibility to organophosphate insecticides in larval Aedes albopictus.
نویسنده
چکیده
Larvae of 26 strains of Aedes albopictus were tested for susceptibility to 5 organophosphate insecticides. The recently collected geographic strains included 13 from the USA, 5 from Brazil, 3 from Southeast Asia and 5 from Japan. The greatest amount of variability was seen among U.S. populations, ranging from quite susceptible to potentially resistant. Brazilian samples were generally quite susceptible to all insecticides tested. Three Japanese strains showed tolerance or low level resistance to fenitrothion (2X, 3X and 8X), as did 2 U.S. strains (3X and 5X). Two U.S. strains showed tolerance to malathion (3X and 4X), while one strain from Chicago, Illinois, showed low level resistance (22X). Selection for resistance to malathion in a laboratory strain composed of multiple U.S. geographic strains resulted in a resistance ratio of 21X after 6 generations of selection.

Susceptibility of Italian populations of Aedes albopictus to temephos and to other insecticides.
We evaluated larval and adult susceptibility to 5 insecticides commonly used for control of Aedes albopictus, by using 15 field-collected populations from northern and central Italy, and we compared these data, collected in 2002, with those from evaluations conducted in 1992-93, 1996, and 1998-99. Larvae were tested for susceptibility to temephos and to the conventional diagnostic dosages of ch...

Biochemical analysis was performed on field caught Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes to determine activities of enzymes including mixed function oxidases (MFO), nonspecific esterases (alpha- and beta-), glutathione-S-transferases (GST), and insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Biochemical tests were performed on F1 generation of Ae. a...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of increasing larval rearing temperatures on the resistance status of Trinidadian populations of Aedes aegypti to organophosphate (OP) insecticides. METHODS In 2007-2008, bioassays and biochemical assays were conducted on A. aegypti larvae collected in 2006 from eight geographically distinct areas in Trinidad (Trinidad and Tobago). Larval populations were rear...

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is an invasive mosquito that has become an important vector of chikungunya and dengue viruses. Immature Ae. albopictus thrive in backyard household containers that require treatment with larvicides and when adult populations reach pest levels or disease transmission is ongoing, adulticiding is often required. To assess the feasibility of control of USA populations, we t...
