Objective: We evaluated the susceptibility status of Anopheles gambiae in two communities of Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria to DDT, deltamethrin, lambda cyhalothrin and bendiocarb.
Methods: immature stages were collected from their habitats in the surveyed community and allowed to emerge before exposure adult females to discriminating doses of WHO insecticides including DDT, deltamethrin, lambda cyhalothrin, bendiocarb and malathion. PBO synergistic bioassay was conducted for insecticides where the mosquito samples showed resistance. PCR assay was used for the detection of kdr mutation in the mosquitoes.
Results: Resistance to DDT (40% and 86%) and lambda cyhalothrin (75% and 84%) in Oke-Ota and Majidun respectively. Suspected resistance to deltamethrin (94.9%) and bendiocarb (93.5%) was recorded in Oke-Ota community and the mosquitoes were susceptible to malathion in both communities. KDR mutation (L1014F) from resistance samples from both locations though with a low frequency that significantly departs from Hardy-Weinberg's probability (P> 0.01). PBO synergized bioassay was able to increase knockdown, percentage mortality and restore full susceptibility to deltamethrin and bendiocarb.
Conclusion: Results from this study indicates that the metabolic resistance mechanism is highly implicated in the resistance to different classes of insecticide in Ikorodu and this should be taken into consideration when implementing vector control activities in this area.

Caterpillars of the genus Spodoptera are the main pests in soybean and cotton crops and Spodoptera cosmioides causes more severe losses than other caterpillars in these agricultural crops. However, there are few recommended insecticides for controlling this pest. Lambda-cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid used to control a wide spectrum of arthropods including lepidopterans.

The insecticides Lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) and imidacloprid (IMD) are extensively utilized in Egyptian agriculture. Embryonic chicken is a readily accessible model organism commonly employed in various studies. Eggs of (Gallus Gallus) chicken were immersed in an aqueous solution of two sub-lethal concentrations (0.

Pesticides tend to cause serious reproductive defects, disturbing endocrine functions and reducing fertility, especially in females. The objective of this work was to identify the reprotoxic effects of Ampligo® 150 ZC (AP), a mixture formulation of lambda cyhalothrin and chlorantraniliprole, on the ovary of female rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the possible protective effect of co-treatment with thyme essential oil (TEO), extracted from (Thymus vulgaris) species, and vitamin C (vit C). Twenty female rabbits were divided into four equal groups (n=5): Control (distilled water), AP (20mg/ kg bw of the insecticide mixture every other day, by gavage for 28 days), AP+TEO (20mg/ kg bw of AP + 0.

A voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) plays a crucial role in insect electrical signals, and it is a target for various naturally occurring and synthesized neurotoxins, including pyrethroids and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. The type of agent is typically widely used to prevent and control sanitary and agricultural pests. The perennial use of insecticides has caused mutations in VGSCs that have given rise to resistance in most insects.

Article Synopsis
- Pyrethroids are widely used insecticides, but resistance in Colombian triatomine populations is poorly understood.
- This study investigates resistance mechanisms to pyrethroids through genetic mutations, metabolic activity changes, and RNA-seq analyses.
- Results show resistance in field populations to certain insecticides, highlighting potential gene regulation linked to detoxification, important for developing management strategies.
