TLDR
Although this pyrethroid was recently started to be used in the country to control the dengue vector, a decrease in susceptibility was noted between both periods analyzed, particularly in the city of Rio de Janeiro, indicating that resistance is due at least in part to a target site alteration.
Abstract
Resistance to cypermethrin of different Aedes aegypti Brazilian populations, collected at two successive periods (2001 and 2002/2003), was monitored using the insecticide-coated bottles bioassay. Slight modifications were included in the method to discriminate between mortality and the knock down effect. Although this pyrethroid was recently started to be used in the country to control the dengue vector, a decrease in susceptibility was noted between both periods analyzed, particularly in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The results indicate that resistance is due at least in part to a target site alteration.

First national-scale evaluation of temephos resistance in Aedes aegypti in Peru

TL;DR: In this article , the third-stage larvae (L3) from the F1 and F2 generations of 39 field populations of Aedes aegypti were evaluated for resistance against the organophosphate insecticide temephos.

Avaliação do efeito da seleção com inibidor de síntese de quitina e da exposição a doses parcialmente letais de inseticidas em populações de campo de Aedes aegypti

TL;DR: It is shown that temephos resistance is associated with the impairment of several parameters of mosquitoes, and diflubenzuron resistance causes fitness problems, which may contribute to the development of novel and rational control strategies.

Susceptibility of Spodoptera littoralis, Field Populations in Egypt to Chlorantraniliprole and The Role of Detoxification Enzymes

TL;DR: There is a correlation between the enzyme activity and tolerance, and carboxylic-esterase (Car-EST) is likely the main detoxification mechanism responsible for tolerance of S. littoralis to chlorantraniliprole.

TL;DR: The use of WHO’s TS, to diagnose low bone mass, compromised the ability of forearm densitometry screening, while its capacity of correctly select healthy and post-menopausal women with a greater bone demineralization propensity, mainly spine, was adjusted after BMD distal and ultradistal radio employment.

Ion Channels as Targets for Insecticides

TL;DR: At field-use rates, a neurotoxic effect of the ecdysteroid agonist RH-5849 is observed that involves blockage of both muscle and neuronal potassium channels, and the future use of ion channels as targets for chemical and genetically engineered insecticides is discussed.

Simplification of adult mosquito bioassays through use of time-mortality determinations in glass bottles

TL;DR: A simple method is described for treating 250-ml glass Wheaton bottles with insecticide, and using them as test chambers for detecting insecticide resistance in mosquito and sandfly populations.

RESISTANCE OF AEDES AEGYPTI TO ORGANOPHOSPHATES IN SEVERAL MUNICIPALITIES IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO AND ESPíRITO SANTO, BRAZIL

TL;DR: Exposure of larvae to a diagnostic dose of temephos showed in alterations in susceptibility in all populations, and adults from only one municipality remained susceptible to both fenitrothion and malathion.

Ion channels as targets for insecticides

TL;DR: The method with which the percentage of sodium channel population that needs to be modified to cause repetitive after-discharges can be measured accurately is developed and is applicable to other neuroactive drugs that act through the threshold phenomenon.

Aedes aegypti resistance to temephos during 2001 in several municipalities in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Sergipe, and Alagoas, Brazil

TL;DR: Exposure of larvae to the diagnostic dose of temephos revealed resistance in all localities examined, with mortality levels ranging from 4% (Pilares district, Rio de Janeiro, RJ) to 61.9% (Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ).
