Abstract:
Study on filariaisis mosquitoes and susceptibility of Cx.quinquefasciatus to some insecticides were conducted in September 2003 at Khanh Trung commune, Khanh Vinh district, Khanh Hoa province. The results showed that: 16 mosquito species of 5 races had been found, in which mosquitoes were main vectors of Wuchereria bancrofti (Cx quinquefasciatus, Cx.vishnui) had high density, while the vectors of Brugia malayi (Ma.uniformis) had very low density. 227 mosquitoes of 4 species (An.barbumborsus, Cx quinquefasciatus, Cx.vishnui, Cx.tritaeniorhynchus) were dissected, none of them were positive with microfilaria. Cx. quinquefasciatus was found to be highly resistant to malathion, lambda-cyhalothrin and alpha-cypermethrin with mortalities of 60,5%, 11% and 21%, respectively
