[Monitoring of the insecticidal resistance of main malaria vectors in Uzbekistan].

In the Fergana valley, the sensitivity of Anopheles maculipennis to DDT was moderate (82.5% death rates) and that to carbamate agents (bendiocarb, 43.5%, and propoxur, 13.0%) was decreased. There was its high sensitivity to pyrethroidal insecticides, such as deltamethrin, lambdacigalothrin, and cifluthrin (100% death rates). The population was moderately resistant to carbamates: bendiocarb and propoxur (69.3 and 77.2% death rates, respectively). In the piedmont and mountainous districts of the Surkhandarya Region, A. superpictus is highly sensitive to all tested drugs. In the plain area of the Samarkand Area, the sensitivity of A. maculipennis to the insecticides, such as fenitrothion, propoxur, and permethrin, was 98.3, 92.3, and 97.0% death rates, respectively; the Tashkent, Dzhizak, and Surkhandaryinsk A. pulcherrimus population retained a normal sensitivity to all tested agents (94.4-100% death rates). The diapausing female A. superpictus mosquitoes in the population from the Fergana valley were found to be resistant to DDT (82.8% death rates) and highly resistant to malathion (43.8%), fenitrothion (38.8%), bendiocarb (2.7%), and propoxur (7.0%); the Tashkent and Surkhandaryinsk populations were also considerably resistant to these agents (35.3-89.6% death rates).
