Research on susceptibility of mosquito Ae. aegypti to insecticides in some Northern provinces between 2001 and 2004

ABSTRACT

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes had been collected at field of some Northern provinces between 2001 and 2004 for studies of their susceptibility to insecticides. It was seen that all of tested mosquitoes dropped immediately 100% and 100% killed after 24 hours. The results showed that all tested mosquitoes were highly susceptible to insecticides, such as permethrin, lambda cyhalothrin, and malathion from 2001-2004 in Northern region. The provinces participate in the test was up fro 5-7. Using the insecticides to kill Aedes aegypti by ULV spraying was effective in Northern provinces in Vietnam. It is adviced to send mosquitoes and lavae in June and July when the density of mosquitoes and lavae is high. Therefore, expanding studies to other provinces throughout the country to identify susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to insecticides is very necessary for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever vector control.
