Seasonal and geographic variation in insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti in southern Ecuador.

Insecticide resistance (IR) can undermine efforts to control vectors of public health importance. Aedes aegypti is the main vector of resurging diseases in the Americas such as yellow fever and dengue, and recently emerging chikungunya and Zika fever, which have caused unprecedented epidemics in the region. Vector control remains the primary intervention to prevent outbreaks of Aedes-transmitted diseases. In many high-risk regions, like southern Ecuador, we have limited information on IR. In this study, Ae. aegypti IR was measured across four cities in southern Ecuador using phenotypic assays …

Evidence for multiple-insecticide resistance in urban Aedes albopictus populations in southern China.

BACKGROUND: Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is an invasive mosquito that has become an important vector of chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. In the absence of specific antiviral therapy or a vaccine, vector management is the sole method available for reducing Aedes-induced disease morbidity. Determining the resistance status of Ae. albopictus to insecticides and exploring the resistance mechanisms is essential for future vector control planning. METHODS: Aedes albopictus larvae and pupae were sampled from six sites (two sites each from urban, suburban and rural) in Guangzhou. The resistance bioa

Associated patterns of insecticide resistance in field populations of malaria vectors across Africa.

The development of insecticide resistance in African malaria vectors threatens the continued efficacy of important vector control methods that rely on a limited set of insecticides. To understand the operational significance of resistance we require quantitative information about levels of resistance in field populations to the suite of vector control insecticides. Estimation of resistance is complicated by the sparsity of observations in field populations, variation in resistance over time and space at local and regional scales, and cross-resistance between different insecticide types. Using …

Increased transcription of CYP6D1 causes cytochrome P450-mediated insecticide resistance in house fly.

Insecticide resistance is a major problem that continues to plague efforts to control pests of animals and crops. An important mechanism by which insects become resistant to insecticides is via increased detoxification mediated by the cytochrome P450 microsomal monooxygenases (monooxygenases). One of the fundamental gaps in our knowledge about this resistance mechanism is an understanding of how insects express high levels of the specific cytochrome P450(s) responsible for resistance. One such P450, CYP6D1, causes resistance to pyrethroid in the house fly and is expressed at 9-fold higher leve…

Molecular mapping of insecticide resistance genes in the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti).

Several loci conferring insecticide resistance in the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) have previously been mapped by simple recombinational mapping. Here we describe correlation of these resistance phenotypes with molecular gene probes for insecticide target sites by RFLP mapping. The para sodium channel gene homologue and the GABA receptor gene Resistance to dieldrin map to the same genome regions as the DDT/pyrethroid and cyclodiene resistance loci, respectively. Although the acetylcholinesterase (target site of organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides) gene Ace does not map to any …

Maintenance of effective control of Simulium damnosum in the face of insecticide resistance.

The control of onchocerciasis through reduction of its vector Simulium damnosum depends on highly effective insecticide treatments directed against the larvae. As these treatments must be applied weekly over wide areas for many years, ideal conditions for the development of resistance have been created. Resistance to organophosphate compounds has occurred. To maintain effective vector control, an intense operational research effort has been necessary. Close and constant monitoring of susceptibility, combined with cytotaxonomic identification of the tested larvae, has revealed the pattern of sp

Insecticide resistant Anopheles from Ethiopia but not Burkina Faso show a microbiota composition shift upon insecticide exposure.

BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a key contributor to mortality and morbidity across Africa, with the highest burden in children under 5. Insecticide-based vector control tools, which target the adult Anopheles mosquitoes, are the most efficacious tool in disease prevention. Due to the widespread use of these interventions, insecticide resistance to the most used classes of insecticides is now pervasive across Africa. Understanding the underlying mechanisms contributing to this phenotype is necessary to both track the spread of resistance and to design new tools to overcome it. METHODS: Here, we c…

Toxicity and residual activity of insecticides to Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in apple orchards: implications for insecticide resistance management.

Organophosphate (OP) insecticides have been used to control Grapholita molesta (Busck, 1916) in Brazil since 1990. However, the evolution of pest insecticide resistance and toxicological reassessments has led to the replacement of OPs with other chemical groups. This study evaluated the toxicity of the insecticides abamectin + cyantraniliprole (1.1 + 3.7 g a.i./100 L-1), acetamiprid + etofenproxi (9.1 + 16.5 g a.i./100 L-1), emamectin benzoate (0.5 g a.i./100 L-1), Sophora flavescens (Fabales: Fabaceae) (22.8 g a.i./100 L-1), phosmet (87.5 g a.i./100 L-1), and indoxacarb (11.2 g a.i./100 L-1) …

Resistance of Anopheles stephensi to selected insecticides used for indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets in Ethiopia.

BACKGROUND: Malaria, transmitted by the bite of infective female Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a global public health problem. The presence of invasive Anopheles stephensi, capable of transmitting Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum, was first reported in Ethiopia in 2016. The ecology of this mosquito species differs from that of Anopheles arabiensis, the primary malaria vector in Ethiopia. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of selected insecticides, which are used in indoor residual spraying (IRS) and selected long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) for malaria vector control aga

Numerous stra … cs techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to unravel the mechanism of insecticide resistance in BtWf. We summarize key genes, enzymes, and metabolic regulation that are associated with the resistance mechanism and review their impact on BtWf resistance. Evidently, key enzymes involved in the detoxification system such as cytochrome P450 (CY …

Strong Positive Selection in Aedes aegypti and the Rapid Evolution of Insecticide Resistance.

Aedes aegypti vectors the pathogens that cause dengue, yellow fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya and is a serious threat to public health in tropical regions. Decades of work has illuminated many aspects of Ae. aegypti's biology and global population structure and has identified insecticide resistance genes; however, the size and repetitive nature of the Ae. aegypti genome have limited our ability to detect positive selection in this mosquito. Combining new whole genome sequences from Colombia with publicly available data from Africa and the Americas, we identify multiple strong candidate sele…

Comparative proteomics reveals mechanisms that underlie insecticide resistance in Culex pipiens pallens Coquillett.

Mosquito control based on chemical insecticides is considered as an important element of the current global strategies for the control of mosquito-borne diseases. Unfortunately, the development of insecticide resistance of important vector mosquito species jeopardizes the effectiveness of insecticide-based mosquito control. In contrast to target site resistance, other mechanisms are far from being fully understood. Global protein profiles among cypermethrin-resistant, propoxur-resistant, dimethyl-dichloro-vinyl-phosphate-resistant and susceptible strain of Culex pipiens pallens were obtained a…

Estimated resistance of the malaria mosquito Anopheles messeae s.l. to the insecticide malathion.

Resistance to agricultural pesticides is an important and insufficiently studied concern for pest and disease vector research. We determined … evi. These specimens harbored a nucleotide substitution in the triplet where a mutation can lead to insecticide resistance, but this substitution would make it difficult for the resistance to develop. Since the studied specimens belong to branches of the Palearctic portion of the Anopheles maculipennis group, we suspect that all other Palearctic species of this group wo …

Increasing insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus and Anopheles arabiensis in Malawi, 2011-2015.

BACKGROUND: Susceptibility of principal Anopheles malaria vectors to common insecticides was monitored over a 5-year period across Malawi to inform and guide the national malaria control programme. METHODS: Adult blood-fed Anopheles spp. and larvae were collected from multiple sites in sixteen districts across the country between 2011 and 2015. First generation (F1) progeny aged 2-5 days old were tested for susceptibility, using standard WHO procedures, against pyrethroids (permethrin and deltamethrin), carbamates (bendiocarb and propoxur), organophosphates (malathion and pirimiphos-methyl) a

Functional characterization of glutathione S-transferases associated with insecticide resistance in Tetranychus urticae.

The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is one of the most important agricultural pests world-wide. It is extremely polyphagous and develops resistance to acaricides. The overexpression of several glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) has been associated with insecticide resistance. Here, we functionally expressed and characterized three GSTs, two of the delta class (TuGSTd10, TuGSTd14) and one of the mu class (TuGSTm09), which had been previously associated with striking resistance phenotypes against abamectin and other acaricides/insecticides, by transcriptional studies. Functional analy…

Assessment of insecticide resistance of Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Emilia-Romagna region.

The European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is the key pest of vineyard, Vitis vinifera L. In Italy, failures in field chemical pest control have been recently reported. The susceptibility to insecticides indoxacarb, methoxyfenozide, and emamectin benzoate was then evaluated in a L. botrana population collected from a vineyard in Emilia-Romagna (northeastern Italy) where pest management programs achieved unsatisfactory results. The field trial showed that the indoxacarb efficacy toward L. botrana was very low in the two timings of applicati

Ribosomal protein S29 regulates metabolic insecticide resistance through binding and degradation of CYP6N3.

BACKGROUND: Many diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes, including malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, filariasis, and West Nile fever. Chemical control plays a major role in managing mosquito-borne diseases. However, excessive and continuous application of insecticides has caused the development of insecticide resistance in many species including mosquito, and this has become the major obstacle to controlling mosquito-borne diseases. Insecticide resistance is the result of complex polygenic inheritance, and the mechanisms are not well understood. Ribosomal protein RPS29 was found to be assoc…
