Multiple resistance and influence of breeding sites on pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of Dengue fever in Burkina Faso, breeds in a variety of domestic and peri-domestic water holding containers. The influence of these water containers on the mosquitoes' ability to survive exposure to chemical insecticides remains unclear. This study investigated the insecticide susceptibility profile of Aedes aegypti in relation to larval habitat types in three districts of Ouagadougou.

Methods

Adult females reared from larvae collected in "domestic containers" and "car tires" were exposed separately to papers impregnated with deltamethrin, pirimiphos-methyl, and bendiocarb to determine their susceptibility profiles. A subsample of mosquitoes per locality and container type was screened for the F1534C, V1016I and V410L kdr mutation
