“…Thus, within 5 days of starting trap inspection, additional entomologic information, such as geographic position of traps, the infestation index, and the choropleth maps, were made available for local health managers. In the early hours of the next business day, the local health manager could meet with field supervisors to decide which area to prioritize and which vector control activities to perform considering local contexts (45,46). Therefore, a week after the start of Adultrap inspection, the dengue transmission risk among the 73 areas of Foz do Iguaçu would be known by the local health managers, triggering vector control interventions in prioritized areas.…”

T he Aedes aegypti mosquito is the primary vector of arboviruses such as dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), chikungunya (CHIKV), and yellow fever. This mosquito species is common in urbanized areas in the tropics because it is highly adapted to live in close association with humans, preferentially feeding on blood of human hosts and laying eggs in containers located around human dwellings (1-6). Estimates indicate that ≈3 billion persons live in areas with ongoing DENV transmission (7).Traditional entomologic surveillance for Ae. aegypti mosquitoes is based on periodic inspections of larvae and pupae in domestic breeding sites, which provide measures of infestation known as the house index (HI), the percentage of houses in which >1 larvae or pupae was collected, and Breteau index (BI), the number of containers positive for larvae or pupae divided by the number of inspected houses. By using available infestation data, public health managers intensify control strategies in the areas with higher indices. Of note, indices based on collection of immature mosquitoes face many criticisms because surveys are costly to perform with the frequency required for adequate surveillance; indices are highly dependent on the agent's motivation to effectively search for larvae in myriad container types, including cryptic and hard-to-access containers; surveys do not consider container productivity (i.e., these surveys might only provide measures of presence or absence immature mosquitoes); and larval density has proven to be a poor indicator of adult mosquito density (8-12).Traps capturing adult mosquitoes could be a promising alternative to larval surveys because they sample the vector life stage that is directly responsible for transmission and provide qualitative (percent positive traps) and quantitative (number of captured mosquitoes per trap) indices (8,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Adult traps provide relative measurements of the vector population, expressed in units of mosquitoes by area, mosquitoes per person, or mosquitoes per trap (8,18,19). Therefore, adopting adult traps in an arbovirusendemic setting likely would provide relevant information regarding the spatiotemporal dynamics of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes.

Chemical insecticides have been used for decades to control mosquitoes, but their ability to develop resistance to synthetic pesticides has become a major Molecules 2024, 29, 1359 2 of 15 problem, with several cases of pyrethroid, carbamate, organochloride, and organophosphate resistance [3].

The current study aimed to evaluate the presence of chemical variations in essential oils (EOs) extracted from Artemisia scoparia growing at different altitudes and to reveal their antibacterial, mosquito larvicidal, and repellent activity. The gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric analysis of A. scoparia EOs revealed that the major compounds were capillene (9.6–31.8%), methyleugenol (0.2–26.6%), β-myrcene (1.9–21.4%), γ-terpinene (1.5–19.4%), trans-β-caryophyllene (0.8–12.4%), and eugenol (0.1–9.1%). The EO of A. scoparia collected from the city of Attock at low elevation was the most active against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria (minimum inhibitory concentration of 156–1250 µg/mL) and showed the best mosquito larvicidal activity (LC50, 55.3 mg/L). The EOs of A. scoparia collected from the high-altitude areas of Abbottabad and Swat were the most repellent for females of Ae. aegypti and exhibited repellency for 120 min and 165 min, respectively. The results of the study reveal that different climatic conditions and altitudes have significant effects on the chemical compositions and the biological activity of essential oils extracted from the same species.

“…This difference in susceptible status is due to differences in the pattern of insecticide use in each region (Ambarita et al, 2015), community mobility, such as tourists, migrants, and job seekers which increase the risk of disease entry and the spread of several vectors including Ae. agypti (Leandro et al, 2020). This study showed that the longer Ae.…”

The use of chemical insecticides to control Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) mosquitoes, as the main vector of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), has long been used. Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide that is commonly used to control mosquitoes. Monitoring of insecticide resistance is an important part of entomological surveillance. This study aimed to determine the susceptibility status of Ae. aegypti to 5% malathion in Tangkerang Barat Sub District, Marpoyan Damai District. This study was conducted in August -October 2022. This study was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. Samples of adult mosquitoes (F1) that came from larvae were collected from 100 houses in Tangkerang Barat according by Health Ministry for susceptibility tests and reared at the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine until adult mosqitoes. The experiment was carried out using 5% malathion-impregnated paper according to the protocol of the WHO bioassay test. Twenty-five of adult mosquitoes were exposed to 5% malathion-impregnated paper in each of 4 exposure tubes and 2 control tubes for 1 hour then moved to hold tube and maintained for 24 hours The mortality of Ae. aegypti after 24 hours were 100%. The susceptibility status of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes to 5% malathion in Tangkerang Barat was susceptible. Malathion can be used against adult Ae.aegypti mosquitoes in Tangkerang Barat but still need to rotate the insecticide. The use of efficacious and safe insecticides against Ae.aegypti is one of the most effective ways to interrupt the transmission of DHF. Rotating the insecticide class is important to continue vector control.
