The efficacy of three groups of insect growth regulators, namely juvenile hormone mimics (methoprene and pyriproxyfen), chitin synthesis inhibitors (diflubenzuron and novaluron), and molting disruptor (cyromazine) was evaluated for the first time, against Aedes albopictus Skuse (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae from 14 districts in Sabah, Malaysia. The results showed that all field populations of Ae. albopictus were susceptible towards methoprene, pyriproxyfen, diflubenzuron, novaluron, and cyromazine, with resistance ratio values ranging from 0.50-0.90, 0.60-1.00, 0.67-1.17, 0.71-1.29, and 0.74-1.07, respectively. Overall, the efficacy assessment of insect growth regulators in this study showed promising outcomes and they could be further explored as an alternative to conventional insecticides.
本研究首次评估了 3 组昆虫生长调节剂（保幼激素类似物[灭幼脲、吡丙醚]、几丁质合成抑制剂[除虫脲、虱螨脲]和蜕皮干扰剂[环丙氨嗪]）对来自马来西亚沙巴州 14 个地区的白纹伊蚊幼虫的效果。结果表明，所有野外种群的白纹伊蚊均对灭幼脲、吡丙醚、除虫脲、虱螨脲和环丙氨嗪敏感，抗性比分别为 0.50-0.90、0.60-1.00、0.67-1.17、0.71-1.29 和 0.74-1.07。总的来说，本研究中昆虫生长调节剂的功效评估结果令人鼓舞，它们可以作为传统杀虫剂的替代品进一步探索。
