Abstract
Biochemical Changes in Both Adults and the 4th Instar Larvae of Sand Fly, Phlebotomus papatasi as Indicators for Tolerance to Insecticides at Sharkia Governorate
Highlights
Leishmaniasis is transmitted by Phlebotominae sand flies, which are prevalent in over 98 countries throughout the world (WHO, 2018)
The relative tolerance levels values in the two different collected populations to the four different tested compounds, it seems clear that all populations exhibited different degrees of tolerance to these compounds compared with the laboratory strain
The current findings matched those of (Dhiman and Mittal, 2000), who stated that the first record of sand-fly resistance to organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids was discovered in India in 2000
Summary
Leishmaniasis is transmitted by Phlebotominae sand flies, which are prevalent in over 98 countries throughout the world (WHO, 2018). Insecticide use, on the other hand, is only recommended after extensive research of the vector's biological features, such as resting behaviour and insecticide sensitivity patterns Tolerance to such compounds is frequently developed as a result of haphazard or excessive usage of such chemicals. Only a few reports from around the world have suggested that enzymes may play a role in insecticide resistance in sand flies (Lins et al, 2008 and Liu et al, 2011). In Egypt, sand flies may have acquired pesticide resistance as a result of the widespread use of insecticides in malaria control programmes and agricultural practices, especially in the country's northern regions. The biochemical diagnosis of P. papatasi tolerant to these insecticides as well as insecticides tolerance effects on some biochemical constituents
