Despite the public health importance of , their resistance status to temephos insecticide has not, to our knowledge, been explored.
The present study was carried out to determine the temephos resistance status of field populations of from Tunisia.
Six field populations of were collected as larvae from breeding sites of Northern and Central Tunisia. All the tests were carried out according to the WHO method.
Results reported that the majority of field populations showed low and medium resistance ratios (6.2<RR50< 29.8) to temephos insecticide tested except for the strain # 1 which had interestingly a very high resistance with RR50 of 624 never detected in Tunisia and North Africa even on other species of mosquitoes.
The resistance ratios of this species were higher than recorded in other countries. Biochemical and molecular studies would be of great importance to identify the mechanisms involved in the recorded resistance to temephos.
尽管 具有公共卫生重要性，但据我们所知，尚未对其对倍硫磷杀虫剂的抗性状况进行研究。
开展本研究以确定突尼斯 的田间种群对倍硫磷的抗性状况。
从突尼斯北部和中部的繁殖地采集了六个 的幼虫田间种群。所有试验均按照世卫组织方法进行。
结果表明，除菌株#1外，大多数田间种群对所测试的倍硫磷杀虫剂显示出低和中等抗性比率（6.2＜RR50＜29.8），有趣的是，菌株#1具有非常高的抗性，RR50为624，在突尼斯和北非甚至在其他蚊种中从未检测到。
该物种的抗性比率高于其他国家记录的比率。生化和分子研究对于确定所记录的对倍硫磷抗性的相关机制将非常重要。
