Status Dan Perkembangan Resistensi Aedes Aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) Strain Bandung, Bogor, Makassar, Palu, Dan VCRU Terhadap Insektisida Permetrin Dengan Seleksi Lima Generasi

Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) is the main vector of dengue fever. In Indonesia, insecticides, especially pyrethroids, such as permethrin, have been effectively used to control Ae. aegypti. Notwithstanding that permethrin has been used since 1980s, information regarding the status and development of resistance of Ae. aegypti to permethrin is still limited and need further update. This study was conducted using the WHO standard test method. The aims was to determine the resistance status, and changes in resistance level of four field strains (Palu, Makassar, Bandung, Bogor) and susceptible strain (VCRU) of Ae. aegypti after the selection with permethrin for five generations. The results showed that resistance status of all field strains to permethrin were considered as high. The value of RR50 ranged between 10.5 to 25.7 fold. Bandung strain had the highest value of RR50 (22.5 fold), while Makassar strain had the lowest value of RR50 (10.5 fold). The fifth generation (F5) of five selected Ae. aegypti strains had the level of resistance 5 to 18 times higher than their parental. Knowledge of resistance status in a given area accompanied with the understanding about the development of resistance can be used to design a better vector management

Resistensi Lalat Rumah, Musca Domestica Linnaeus (Diptera: Muscidae) Dari Empat Kota Di Indonesia Terhadap Permetrin Dan Propoksur

House flies (Musca domestica Linnaeus) is one of the common urban pests causing health, economics, and aesthetics problems. Although intensive control by using inseticides are carried out, there are reports of control failures, which are probably due to insect resistance. Bioassay tests with topical application to study the status as well as resistance mechanism of house flies collected from the city of Jakarta (JKT), Bandung (BDG), Yogyakarta (YGY) and Surabaya (SBY) to pyrethroid (permethrin) and carbamate (propoxur) insecticides were carried out. The results show that, as compared to the most susceptible strain (YGY), we found that BDG strain is highly resistant to permethrin with resistance ratio (RR) of 133.7 fold. SBY strain was the most resistant to propoxur with RR of 38.36 fold, followed by Bandung strain with RR of 18.22 fold. The addition of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) to either permethrin or propoxur in most of the strains caused a decrease in LD50 values and increasing the synergist ratio (SR) suggesting that the detoxifying enzyme mixed function oxidase (MFO) played an important role in the development of resistance to permethrin and propoxur. Our study is the first report of M. domestica resistance to permethrin and propoxur in Indonesia
