Susceptibility of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> Larvae to Temephos and Fenitrothion in Niamey (Niger) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Two West African Cities Recently Affected by Dengue.

ABSTRACT: In the absence of commercialized vaccines for most arboviruses, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, which are transmitted by Aedes aegypti, the management of vector populations to prevent disease transmission remains the cornerstone of arbovirus control strategies. Larviciding targets the early stages of the mosquito life cycle and subsequently reduces the capacity of adult population to transmit pathogens. Here, we report the susceptibility profile of Ae. aegypti larval populations from two West Africa cities, namely Niamey and Ouagadougou, to organophosphates larvicides. In Niamey, sampling was carried out using ovitraps at two sites, whereas in Ouagadougou, larvae were collected from three different types of larval containers at a single site. Temephos and fenitrothio
