Abstract
Synergizing the deltamethrin larvicidal activity against Aedes albopictus larvae using cinnamaldehyde in Diwaniyah, Iraq
Highlights
Resistance to insecticide is an important global subject that affects people life in different health and economic subjects
The current work on mosquito larvae was performed to evaluate the resistance status of larvae to deltamethrin (DM) and to detect if the larvicidal activity (LA) of this chemical could be synergized after exposing the larvae to cinnamaldehyde (CD)
200 Aedes albopictus larvae were employed for the experiment and were divided randomly into 2 groups (100/each group and placed in petri-dishes (PD), 10 larvae/PD), and they are the DM group (1ml of 0.04 mg/l in 99ml of distilled water (DW) was placed to each PD) and the DM+CD group (1ml of 0.04 mg/l and 1ml of 0.9mg/l respectively were placed with 98ml DW in each PD)
Summary
Resistance to insecticide is an important global subject that affects people life in different health and economic subjects. Mosquitoes are a well-known vector to transmit different pathogens such as plasmodium [4], dengue virus [5], the west Nile virus [6], the yellow fever virus [7], Zika virus [8]. Those pathogens cause severe health conditions that sometimes result in high mortalities in human [9]. These detoxification techniques were suggested via the presence of bacterial P450 of the mosquito microbiota [12,13,14]
