Four commercially available temephos formulations (Abate 4E, Clarke 1% Skeeter Abate [1% SA], Abate 2-BG, and Abate 5-BG) were evaluated against 3rd instars of Aedes taeniorhynchus in laboratory beaker tests and small field test plots. Abate 4E liquid formulation was effective in both the laboratory and plot tests. 1% SA and Abate 5-BG were more effective in the small field test plots than Abate 2-BG.

Monoterpenes are effective and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical larvicides. We tested single and binary mixtures of monoterpenes-geranial and -cinnamaldehyde-for their larvicidal and pupicidal activities against L. and for non-target toxicity on guppies ( Peters), using 1% (/) temephos as a reference.

The development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes of public health importance has encouraged extensive research into innovative vector control methods. Terpenes are the largest among Plants Secondary Metabolites and have been increasingly studied for their potential as insecticidal control agents. Although promising, terpenes are insoluble in water, and they show low residual life which limits their application for vector control.

Objective: To analyze the density, distribution and insecticide resistance of in Ningbo City in 2021, so as to provide insights into formulation of dengue fever control strategies.
Methods: Four administrative villages were randomly selected from each county (district) in Ningbo City from April to November, 2021, to investigate the indoor population density of larvae, and the Breteau index (BI) was calculated. The population density of adult mosquitoes was investigated in residential areas, parks/bamboo forests, waste tire stacking sites/waste stations/construction sites in each county (district).

Temephos is the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended larvicide and is still being utilized worldwide to control larvae of dengue vectors; Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The efficacy of a commercial temephos product; Temebate® to exterminate the local populations of Ae. albopictus larvae originated from different land use particularly dengue-risk and dengue-free housing localities as well as agrarian localities including oil palm plantations, rubber estates and paddy fields was assessed to verify its bioefficacy in these localities.

Control of mosquito vector populations is primarily intended to reduce the transmission of pathogens they transmit. Use of chemical controls, such as larvicides, can have unforeseen consequences on adult traits if not applied properly. The consequences of under application of larvicides are little studied, specifically the impacts on pathogen infection and transmission by the vectors that survive exposure to larvicides.
