...This certainly contributed to the rapid increase in pyrethroid resistance levels [25, 26], a situation that induced the MoH to recommend interruption of this class of adulticides [27]....

...One important aspect of the CDC bottle bioassay is the 24-h holding period used for pyrethroids and DDT to allow insects to recover from “knockdown” [39, 41, 44, 50-52]....

...The use of organophosphates, employed since 1967 throughout the country against Ae. aegypti larvae and adults, was intensified after the 1986 epidemics, that started at Rio de Janeiro and spread over several other regions (Lima et al. 2003, Braga et al. 2004)....

...After linkage to pyrethroids, the sodium channels in the neurons are maintained for a longer length of time in their opened conformation, which results in a continuous nervous impulse that causes bursts of contractions, culminating with paralysis (Bloomquist 1996). Depending on the insecticide’s dosage, this effect, known as the “knock down” mechanism, is reversible if contact with the insecticide is interrupted. Resistant individuals that have a kdr mutation exhibit the knock down effect but can recover from pyrethroid dosages that are lethal to susceptible insects (Milani 1954, Pauron et al. 1989). Sodium channels are also the target site for organochlorines, an insecticide class that has not been used in the Public Health at Brazil since the reintroduction of Ae. aegypti in 1967 (Franco 1976). We report on the monitoring of Ae. aegypti resistance to cypermethrin in municipalities of three Brazilian states: Sergipe (SE) and Alagoas (AL), located at Northeast Brazil and Rio de Janeiro (RJ), at the Southeast (Figure). Bioassays were performed with insecticide-coated bottles, as described by Brogdon and McAllister (1998). We first calibrated the bottles with different dosages of cypermethrin, by testing mosquitoes from the Rockefeller strain....
