Journal ArticleDOI

Estelita Pereira Lima,Marcelo Henrique Santos Paiva,Ana Paula de Araújo,Ellyda Vanessa Gomes da Silva,Ulisses Mariano da Silva,Lúcia Nogueira de Oliveira,Antônio Euzébio Goulart Santana,Clarisse Nogueira Barbosa,Clovis C de Paiva Neto,Craig S. Wilding,Constância Flávia Junqueira Ayres,Maria Alice Varjal de Melo Santos +11 more
TL;DR: Two A. aegypti populations from Ceará are under strong selection pressure by temephos, compromising the field effectiveness of this organophosphate, and resistance to cypermethrin is shown in two of the three populations studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistência do Aedes aegypti ao temefós em Municípios do Estado do Ceará
Estelita Pereira Lima,Alfredo Martins de Oliveira Filho,José Wellington de Oliveira Lima,Alberto Novaes Ramos Júnior,Luciano Pamplona de Góes Cavalcanti,Ricardo José Soares Pontes +5 more
TL;DR: The larvicide may lose its effectiveness if an urgent attempt is not made to reestablish the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to temefos in these areas, profoundly affecting control campaigns currently under way.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activities of naphthoquinones against Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (Diptera: Culicidae), vector of dengue and Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818), intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni

TL;DR: The present results reinforce the potential use of substituted hydroxyquinones, their salts and halogenated quinones as very promising compounds against 4th instar larves of Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and against adult snail of Biomphalaria glabrata.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of studies on chemical, physical and biological agents in the control of Aedes aegypti.
TL;DR: The most effective control method was the integrated approach, considering the influence of eco-bio-social determinants in the virus-vector-man epidemiological chain, and community involvement, starting with community empowerment as active agents of vector control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the role of ATP-binding cassette transporters as a defence mechanism against temephos in populations of Aedes aegypti.
TL;DR: The best result in the series was obtained with the addition of verapamil, which led to a 2x increase in the toxicity of temephos, suggesting that ABC transporters may be partially involved in conferring resistance to the populations evaluated.
