LEVELS OF INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE AND RESISTANCE MECHANISMS IN AEDES AEGYPTI FROM SOME LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES
1 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Eight Latin American strains of Aedes aegypti were evaluated for resistance to 6 organophosphates (temephos, malathion, fenthion, pirimiphos-methyl, fenitrothion, and chlorpirifos) and 4 pyrethroids (deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, betacypermethrin, and cyfluthrin) under laboratory conditions. In larval bioassays, temephos resistance was high (resistance ratio [RR50], > or =10X) in the majority of the strains,...
