Evaluating the sensitivity of Aedes aegypti mosquito to pesticide in some Northern provinces

ABSTRACT

100% of mosquito batches were collapsed after 30 minutes exposing to test paper and dead after 24 hours following up. This indicates that the mosquito in test places is very sensitive to permethrin and lambda cyhalothrin and these chemicals are effective in killing mosquito during outbreaks. The number of locals where involved in evaluating the sensitivity of mosquito to chemicals are increasing. These are provinces where the insects surveillance systems are available.
