Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To understand the level of Aedes aegypti resistance in Hainan and to provide a reference for developing local preventive and control measures against the dengue vector Ae. aegypti. Methods In 2020, Aedes aegypti larvae and pupae were collected from Danzhou and Changjiang in Hainan Province and reared to the first filial generation (F1). The adult mosquito contact tube method was used to determine the resistance of Aedes aegypti to commonly used insecticides. The allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) was used to detect the mutations in V1016G and F1534C knockdown resistance (kdr) gene in Aedes aegypti. Results There was no significant difference in the knockdown rate of Ae. aegypti from Changjiang and Danzhou after 1 hour of exposure to four pyrethroids insecticides, namely deltamethrin (0.03%), permethrin (0.40%), beta-cypermethrin (0.04%) and lambda-cyhalothrin (0.02%). However, the 24-hour mortality rates of Ae. aegypti from Changjiang and Danzhou city were 95.56%, 85.56%, 81.11%, 48.89% and 94.44%, 68.60%, 61.11%, 30.00%, respectively. Except for deltamethrin (0.03%), the other differences were statistically significant. Aedes aegypti in Changjiang showed 100.00% mortality to propoxur (0.03%) and bendiocarb (0.20%), while in Danzhou, these rates were 100.00% and 98.89%, respectively. Ae. aegypti both from Changjiang and Danzhou showed 100.00% mortality to malathion (1.50%) and chlorpyrifos (0.80%), and mortality rates to 0.25% fenthion were 100.00% and 98.89%, respectively. V1016G and F1534C mutations were found in Ae. aegypti from Danzhou and Changjiang with mutation frequencies of 12.50% (20/160) and 97.50% (156/160), showing significant differences (χ2=233.54, P<0.001). In Changjiang, Aedes aegypti exhibited both V1016G and F1534C mutations with frequencies of 20.00% and 100.00%, respectively, whereas in Danzhou, only F1534C mutations occurred with a frequency of 98.75%. Conclusions Ae. aegypti in Hainan Province exhibited varying levels of resistance to four insecticides: deltamethrin, permethrin, beta-cypermethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, but showed sensitivity to propoxur, bendiocarb, malathion, and chlorpyrifos. The primary knockdown resistance gene mutation was F1534C.
