Resumen
LOPEZ-SOLIS, Alma Delia et al. Insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) populations from Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.4, pp.439-446. Epub 16-Mayo-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/10131.
Objective:
To determine the insecticide resistance status of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus from Tapachula, México.
Materials and methods:
Mosquito eggs were collected with the use of ovitraps and CDC susceptibility bioassays and biochemical assays were conducted to determine resistance levels and resistance mechanisms, respectively.
Results:
Ae. aegypti showed resistance to deltamethrin and permethrin (PYRs), malathion, chlorpyrifos and temephos (OP), and to bendiocarb (CARB), while Ae. albopictus showed resistance to malathion and to a lesser intensity to chlorypirifos, temephos, permethrin and deltamethrin. Both species showed high levels of P450 and GSTs, while levels of esterases varied by species and collection site. Altered acethilcholinesterase was detected in both species.
Conclusion:
In an urban habitat from Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico where vector control using insecticides takes place, Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus are only susceptible to propoxur.
