Abstract The use of insecticides for the control of Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) in Colombia has indirectly influenced the susceptibility status of Culex quinquefasciatus Say populations. We evaluated pyrethroid susceptibility in two populations of Cx. quinquefasciatus in the Atlantico Department of Colombia and its possible resistance mechanism (kdr mutation). Bottle bioassays were performed for permethrin, deltamethrin, and λ-cyhalothrin in female mosquitoes of Cx. quinquefasciatus. The resistance ratios (RRs) for KC50 and LC50 for each insecticide in the field populations examined were determined, using the Cartagena strain as the susceptible control. The L1014F kdr mutation was identified in the para gene of the voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc), along with its allelic and genotypic frequency. Low knockdown resistance (RRKC50) to deltamethrin was found in Puerto Colombia and Soledad populations as well as low resistance to λ-cyalothrin in this latter population. Moderate knockdown resistance to permethrin was found in both populations. At 24 h post-exposure on the other hand, there was low resistance (RRLC50) to permethrin in Puerto Colombia and moderate resistance in Soledad. Moderate resistance to deltamethrin was found in Puerto Colombia and low resistance in Soledad. Low resistance to λ-cyhalothrin was seen in Puerto Colombia and moderate resistance in Soledad. Variability was found in the susceptibility to the pyrethroids in the populations of Cx. quinquefasciatus evaluated, and the L1014F kdr mutation is reported for the first time as a possible pyrethroid resistance mechanism in this species in Colombia.

Abstract Culex pipiens Linnaeus and Culex quinquefasciatus Say are the primary vectors of West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis viruses in California. Pyrethrins and pyrethroids (synthetic pyrethrins) are the most widely used insecticides to control adult stage mosquitoes to prevent disease transmission. The most abundant and widespread mutation associated with pyrethroid resistance is the L1014F mutation of the voltage-sensitive sodium channel gene. Statewide, based on the testing of almost 2,000 mosquitoes from 14 counties, the resistant allele frequency was 71%. Although the L1014F mutation was found in all counties assessed, the resistance allele profiles differed between regions of California. The highest resistant allele frequency occurred in the Central region and lowest frequencies were from the Northern and Southern regions. Resistance allele frequencies observed in 2014–2016 are nearly 1.5 times higher than those from pre-2012, indicating that resistance profiles can change over time. Regular monitoring of the L1014F kdr mutation will help aid in operational decisions.

INTRODUCTION: Besides mosquito species adapted to urban environments (Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus), only 15 species of Anopheles had been recorded in the State of Pernambuco. METHODS: Human-landing mosquitoes were collected in Dois Irmãos Park, in Recife. RESULTS: The first report for the state of Haemagogus janthinomys, an important vector of yellow fever virus, and 14 other species, including Trichoprosopon lampropus, a first reported for Brazil. CONCLUSIONS: The mosquito fauna in the area is diversified and has potential medical and veterinary importance.
