Investigation of Pirimiphos-methyl Resistance Status of Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) Populations in Northern Tunisia
Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
This article reports Pirimiphos-methyl resistance status of Culex pipiens populations harvested in four breeding sites in Northern Tunisia. Our results showed the resistance of all samples to Pirimiphos-methyl. The RR50 ranged from 3.3 1 to 62.1. The sample collected from Tazarka had the highest resistance among all studied populations. This status could be explained by its frequency of mortality caused by propoxur (0%) and also by its frequency of detected esterases (85%). Authors confirmed the implications of insensitive acetylcholinesterase and esterases enzymes in the resistance of Culex pipiens populations to Pirimiphos-methyl. It is the first investigation of Pirimiphos-methyl resistance status of Culex pipiens populations from Tunisia and it is very important for the implementation and development of vector control strategies.
