Abstract:

Aedes aegypti mosquito, occurring in Africa and prevailing tropical and subtropical regions, represents a key vector responsible for transmitting various arbovirus associated diseases, including dengue fever, Zika virus disease, chikungunya fever, and yellow fever. In recent years, resistance of Aedes aegypti mosquito to the insecticides has been added with the extensive use of this agent to control the density of Aedes aegypti in Lancang-Mekong River Basin. This paper reviewed the research advances in Aedes aegypti resistance against pyrethroid, organophosphate, carbamate and organochlorine in those countries, with an attempt to provide reference for effective control of this mosquito species.

Key words: Lancang-Mekong River Basin, Aedes aegypti, Drug resistance
