The purpose of this study was to determine the type of insecticides which Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are resistant to, so that other susceptibleinsecticides still can be used. The study was a cross sectional epidemiological study with cluster sampling in Sub-district Wongsorejo,Banyuwangi, Muncar, Tegaldlimo, Kalibaru which is considered sufficient to represent Banyuwangi Regency. Mosquito samples appropriate tothe characteristics were isolated and tested for insecticide-resistance primer namely voltage gated sodium channel (VGSC) to determine thespecific resistance expressed in mosquitoes. The result of resistance test using WHO standard method showed that Aedes aegypti mosquito fromBanyuwangi Regency were resistant to cypermethrin 0.25% and malathion 0.8%. There was a VGSC coding gene with 250 bp band detectedusing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique which was associated with the resistance of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Banyuwangi Regencyto organophosphate insecticides (malathione) and pyrethroid insecticides (cypermethrin).

AbstractDengue virus is highly pathogenic in humans and spreads rapidly through Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. More than half a billion people from 100 countries in the world are at serious risk of dengue virus infection. The purpose of this study was to prove the existence of transovarial transmission of dengue virus in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with a transovarial transmission index (TTI) in endemic areas in Pontianak, West Kalimantan. This research method is descriptive observational with a cross-sectional study. The results of the Microscopic Examination of Head Squash Preparations on the Aedes aegypti mosquito, showed the Transovarial Transmission Index in Batulayang Village was 39.60% higher, compared to Sungai Jawi Village, which was 29.30%, but both were still lower than ITT in 2012. The results of the Aedes mosquito examination aegypti using the Polymerase Chain Reaction Transcription Reaction (PCR-TR) method found the dengue virus strain. The conclusion of this study proves that the transovarial transmission of dengue virus in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Sungai Jawi Village is 29.30% lower than in Batulayang Village by 39.60%, and the dengue virus serotype, DENV-3, has been found.Keywords: transovarial transmission; dengue virus; Aedes aegypti AbstrakVirus Dengue sangat patogen pada manusia dan menyebar dengan cepat melalui nyamuk Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus.

Ambarawa Regency is one of the endemic sub-districts since 2017 which always accounts for the highest DHF cases in Semarang Regency. Molecular detection of Aedes aegypti resistance towards sipermetrin using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques. The study was conducted to see mutations in the Aedes aegypti VGSC gene. This research was a pure experimental study. The Aedes aegypti samples examined were 10 in every village taken from 3 endemic DHF villages with high fogging intensity in Ambarawa. The research used random sampling techniques taken with ovitrap which was first installed during the month of August. Resistance detection test using the PCR method were conducted at the Banjarnegara Research and Development Center in September. Data were analyzed descriptively to illustrate the results of the study. The results showed that in Tambakboyo Village, 2 samples were susceptible (V / V), 7 samples were detected as homozygous (G / G) resistant, 1 sample was detected as heterozygous (V / G) resistant; in Kupang District 5 samples were detected as being homozygous resistant (G / G) and 5 samples were detected as heterozygous resistant (V / G); and in Panjang Village 1 susceptible sample (V / V), 8 samples were detected as homozygous resistant (G / G), 1 sample was detected as heterozygous resistant (V / G). Based on the results of mutation studies had been found in the VGSC gene in codon V1016G. The proper implementation of management, selection and rotation of insecticides is expected to reduce the risk of resistance in the Aedes aegypti mosquito population.

Banyuwangi is still listed as areas not completely free from hemorrhagic dengue fever outbreak. Changes in the genome of Aedes aegypti mosquito as the main vector of dengue virus is estimated to be the cause of difficulty in controlling the disease. Expression of Voltage Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) genes can be used as an important indication of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes resistancy to certain groups insecticides. The purpose of this study was to detect the Voltage Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) genes coding in Aedes aegypti using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR); as it is related to the mechanism of resistance to organophosphate insecticides groups. Results of resistency by susceptibility test showed that Aedes aegypti mosquito samples from three district ie. Tegaldlimo, Purwoharjo, and Banyuwangi were resistant to malathion 0.8% insecticide (organophosphates group). PCR results detected gen band with 250 bp length, which confirmed that insecticide resistance gene has been detected in the tested samples. Based on this study results, it is recommended to use alternative insecticides apart from organophosphate group for dengue vector control in Banyuwangi. ABSTRAK Kabupaten Banyuwangi masih tercatat sebagai daerah yang belum sepenuhnya bebas dari wabah demam berdarah dengue (DBD). Perubahan genom nyamuk Aedes aegypti sebagai vektor utama virus dengue diperkirakan menjadi penyebab sulitnya pengendalian penyakit DBD. Ekspresi gen Voltage Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) dapat dijadikan indikasi penting sejauh mana perkembangan nyamuk Aedes aegypti resisten terhadap insektisida golongan tertentu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeteksi gen penyandi VGSC pada nyamuk A. aegypti yang berkaitan dengan mekanisme resistensi terhadap insektisida golongan organofosfat menggunakan teknik Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Hasil uji resistensi susceptibility test menunjukkan sampel nyamuk A. aegypti dari tiga kecamatan di Kabupaten Banyuwangi yaitu Kecamatan Tegaldlimo, Purwoharjo, dan Banyuwangi resisten terhadap insektisida malathion 0,8 % (kelompok organofosfat). Hasil deteksi gen melalui PCR didapatkan band yang muncul dengan panjang 250 bp. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa gen pembawa resistensi insektisida (VGSC) telah terdeteksi pada sampel yang diuji. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, disarankan untuk pengendalian vektor DBD di Kabupaten Banyuwangi dengan menggunakan alternatif insektisida selain dari golongan organofosfat.

The <em>Dengue virus</em> is the main arbovirus that affects man in terms of morbidity and mortality. The detection of the virus is very important for epidemiological surveillance, so here we propose to standardize and compare the immunodot blot (IDB) and multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (M-RT-PCR) techniques to detect and characterize the dengue virus (DENV) serotypes in samples of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae. Thus, the IDB and M-RT-PCR techniques were standardized using macerated samples of larvae collected in nature. The use of monoclonal antibodies in IDB has not shown great results, but DENV detection through this method was possible using polyclonal antibodies. The distinction of serotypes 1, 2 and 3 was carried out by M-RT-PCR.

This study was designed to detect equine piroplasmosis using the molecular technique in Al-Najaf province during the season that showed an increment in tick activities. Blood samples were collected from 110 horses with more than two signs of piroplasmosis. After DNA extraction, the product was examined by a polymerase chain reaction to amplify 18SrRNA. The results showed that the overall percentage of equine theileriosis was 38.18%. According to gender, the percentage of infection was 43.48% and 29.27% in females and males, respectively. Significant variations appeared between infected horses according to age, and the percentage of infection was 50% and 35.22% in less than 2 years and more than 2 years age, respectively. Moreover, the percentage of infection was 62.5% and 19.35% in animals with and without acariasis, respectively. Significant variations were also seen in equine theileriosis according to geographical areas, and the higher percentage was reported in Hera district (60.87%), while the lowest percentage was in the center of Al-Najaf (21.43%). This difference may be due to different distribution of vector of disease (tick), which may be the availability of the suitable weather that helped in the multiplication of the intermediate vectors. In conclusion, this study proved the variations in the occurrences of equine piroplasmosis according to gender, age, and geographical areas.
