Abstract
AEDES AEGYPTI
chemical control remains an indispensable alternative to prevent dengue, Zika, and chikungunya outbreaks in Havana, Cuba. The city of Havana requires constant surveillance because of its bioecological characteristics that favor the proliferation of mosquito vectors of these viruses, which constitutes a high risk to the health of its inhabitants. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of the stopping of temephos applications during the 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of susceptibility of Ae. aegypti in 5 municipalities of Havana, Cuba. Larval susceptibility was evaluated by bioassays as described by the World Health Organization. All Ae. aegypti populations tested showed high resistance to temephos. The National Control Program of Ae. aegypti in Cuba will need to promote insecticide rotation policies to prevent the evolution of temephos resistance in Havana.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association (JAMCA) encourages the submission
of previously unpublished manuscripts contributing to the advancement of knowledge of
mosquitoes and other arthropod vectors. The Journal encourages submission of a wide range of
scientific studies that include all aspects of biology, ecology, systematics, and integrated pest
management. Manuscripts exceeding normal length (e. g., monographs) may be accepted for
publication as a supplement to the regular issue.
