nsecticide based vector control approaches are facing
challenges due to the development of resistance in vector
mosquitoes. Therefore, a proper resistance surveillance
programme using baseline lethal concentrations is crucial
for the resistance management strategies. Currently, the
World Health Organization’s (WHO) diagnostic doses
established for
Aedes aegypti
and
Anophlese
are being used
to study the resistance status of
Aedes albopictus
. In this
study we established the diagnostic doses for permethrin,
deltamethrin and malathion using a known susceptible
reference strain and 5 field collected populations were
screened against these doses following the WHO protocol.
This study established the diagnostic dose of malathion
3.4%, permethrin 0.45% and deltamathrin 0.08%, that
differs from the WHO doses. Among the insecticides tested
on 5 wild populations, only deltamethrin showed high
effectiveness. While, different susceptibility and resistance
patterns where observed against permethrin, malathion and
DDT 4%. This study may facilitate the health authorities in
future to improve chemical based vector control operations
in the dengue endemic areas.
