“…However, resistance to λ-cyhalothrin has been reported in Ae. aegypti populations in western Mexico [16] and Colombia [55]. To limit additional sources of selection for pyrethroid resistance in Aedes spp., the use of λ-cyhalothrin as a larvicide should probably be restricted to specific settings that require extended larvicidal control measures, such as car tire dumps, tire storage facilities, and similar industrial sites.…”

“…Only minor resistance to temephos has been reported in Mexico to date [16]. This is surprising given the extended period for which this compound has been used almost exclusively as the standard larvicide for Aedes control.…”

“…Vector control programs in Mexico currently focus on the elimination of oviposition sites in and around housing, in combination with the treatment of water containers with the organophosphate temephos (Abate), that is applied as a 1% mineral granule formulation. The continuous use of this compound has led to the development of resistance in many regions [15], although temephos resistance has not been reported in Mexico [16]. During outbreaks of vector borne disease, these measures are accompanied by intra-domiciliary residual spraying, street-level fogging or aerial application of insecticides, usually pyrethroids, as adulticides [17].…”

The present study examined the efficacy of λ-cyhalothrin, pyriproxyfen and granular formulations of spinosad and temephos for the control of mosquito larvae present in experimental tires in Veracruz State, Mexico in the period 2015–2016. Both λ-cyhalothrin and spinosad granules provided control of larvae and pupae of Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus and Culex spp. in used tires in Veracruz State, Mexico, over a 9–12 week period, although numbers of Culex were low. The numbers of Aedes larvae + pupae in pyriproxyfen and temephos-treated tires were slightly less than half of the untreated control tires, probably a result the pupicidal characteristics of pyriproxyfen and possible resistance in the case of temephos. Spinosad was less harmful to predatory Toxorhynchites spp. than λ-cyhalothrin or temephos. The reduced susceptibility to temephos in Aedes populations was confirmed at five other sites in Veracruz. Public health authorities should consider incorporating spinosad as a larvicide in coastal areas at a high risk of dengue, chikungunya and Zika outbreaks in this region.

“…It is possible that growing insecticide resistance has been a factor (but not the only factor) in facilitating high densities of mosquitoes. Rapid rises in the frequency of pyrethroid‐resistant alleles (mainly Ile1016 and Cys1534 at the sodium channel gene mutations) have been detected in Mexican populations of S. aegypti (Flores et al ., ; Saavedra‐Rodriguez et al ., , ; Ponce‐García et al ., ; Siller et al ., ; Aponte et al ., ; Chino‐Cantor et al ., ; Vera‐Maloof et al ., ; Deming et al ., ). Cross‐resistance to some insecticides has also been noted in localities in which these insecticides have not been used but others have (Flores et al ., ).…”

In Mexico, mosquito vector-borne diseases are of public health concern as a result of their impact on human morbidity and mortality. The use of insecticides against adult mosquitoes is one of the most common ways of controlling mosquito population densities. However, the use of these compounds has resulted in the development of insecticide resistance. The aim of this study was to estimate susceptibility to six pyrethroids, two carbamates and two organophosphates in Mexican populations of Stegomyia aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) (= Aedes aegypti) (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes. Bottle insecticide susceptibility tests, with 1 h exposure, were performed on adult mosquitoes from 75 localities across 28 states. At 30 min of exposure, the proportion of fallen mosquitoes was recorded. After 60 min of exposure, mosquitoes were recovered in non-treated containers and mortality was determined at 24 h after the set-up of the experiment. In general, the carbamate insecticides represented the most effective group in terms of the proportion of mosquitoes fallen at 30 min (72-100%) and 24-h mortality (97-100%). High and widespread resistance to pyrethroids Types I and II and, to a lesser extent, to organophosphates was observed. Insecticide susceptibility among and within states was highly variable.

“…La resistencia de los mosquitos a los insecticidas se ha reportado en todo el mundo, como puede comprobarse por los hallazgos en Tanzania (16), Grecia (17), México (18), Tailandia (19) y Colombia (20), por mencionar solo algunos países. Debido a la alta incidencia de cepas resistentes a los insecticidas tradicionalmente utilizados, hoy se buscan nuevos métodos para el control de los mosquitos.…”

Essential oils and their components as an alternative in the control of mosquito vectors of diseaseMore than half of the human population is exposed to mosquito-borne infections. Climate change and the emergence of strains resistant to traditionally used insecticides have motivated the search of new agents for mosquito population control. Essential oils have been effective repellents and larvicidal agents. The aim of this work was to review research studies conducted in recent years on the larvicidal activity of essential oils and their components against Aedes, Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes, as well as the latest reports about their possible mechanism of action. Más de la mitad de la población humana está expuesta a contraer infecciones transmitidas por mosquitos. La falta de tratamientos y vacunas eficaces para muchas de estas enfermedades hace que su control dependa principalmente de la utilización de agentes insecticidas (1). Los individuos que habitan en las áreas tropicales están más expuestos a contraer enfermedades transmitidas por vectores y este riesgo ha aumentado en otras zonas debido a la globalización (2).Culex, Aedes y Anopheles son vectores de diversas enfermedades, como la filariasis, el dengue, la malaria, y otras. Culex quinquefasciatus está presente en vastas regiones tropicales del mundo, es la principal plaga doméstica en muchas áreas urbanas y está implicada en la transmisión de muchos agentes patógenos, entre ellos, el causante de la filariasis linfática. Esta enfermedad está ampliamente distribuida en las zonas tropicales, con alrededor de 120 millones de personas infectadas en todo el mundo (3).
