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.

CULTIVATION OF Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis H14 IN BIOREACTOR FOR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF Aedes aegypti LARVAE

TL;DR: The fermentation conditions employed were suitable for the cultivation of Bti, generating batches with high concentration of cells, short time required for sporulation and adequate production of toxins with confirmed biolarvicidal activity.

Impact of insecticide resistance on control

TL;DR: There is a general trend of loss of susceptibility to products used for the control of Aedes aegypti, indicating that resistance management must be adopted when insect populations are in the "reduced susceptibility" status.

Anopheles darlingi and Anopheles marajoara (Diptera: Culicidae) susceptibility to pyrethroids in an endemic area of the Brazilian Amazon

TL;DR: The Amazon region of Brazil is considered the endemic area of malaria, with more than 99% of cases of malaria reported in this region, and vector control was performed with the indoor application of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, however, in 1987, this insecticide was banned in agriculture and, subsequently, in 1997, it was also banned in public health in Brazil.

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.

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).
