CONCLUSIONS Both α and β esterase assays showed elevated enzyme levels characteristic of resistance mechanisms. These were detected in females of Ae. aegypti and occurred at a much higher frequency in areas of intensive use of insecticide, such as in Benito Juárez and Cozumel (tourist areas). Levels of MFO in females were elevated in Lázaro Cárdenas, suggesting that they have been selected as a detoxifying mechanism
CONCLUSIONS These elevated levels were focal, but with a high degree of inter-site variability. Data are consistent with the view that these resistance mechanisms have been under selection by the insecticides used in the area.

CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in susceptibility at LC 5 and LC 95 levels between larval populations of Ae. aegypti among different sites of the study area in Veracruz to biph phenthrin, cypermethri rin,, permethrin methrin,, DDT, malathión and temephos. From an operational perspective, one would not expect an increase in mosquitos control rates with either insecticide

Furthermore, it is hard to standarize the bioassays plus this method is not adequate for the identification of the resistance mechanisms or the frequency of the resistant phenotypes. There area groups of detoxification enzymes: esterases, oxidases and transferases which are responsible for the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Brogdon et al (1984, 1988, 199, 1997) developed a microplate assay method in order to determine the activity of Acetilcolinesterase (AChE), Insensitive Acetilcolinesterase (iache), non-especific esterases, Glutation-S-transferase (GST) and Oxidases (MFO) and protein in small samples of homogenized mosquitoes. The microplate assay method for GST, a and b-esterases and MFO was used in this study with the purpose of determining α-esterases San the Pedroactivity of these enzimes on larbal populations of Ae. aegypti, vector of dengue in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, N.L., Mexico..7.5.69.7.8.7.71.9.1.72.73.74.77 Absorbance 1. 1.1 Abs orbance 1.2.78.79 β-esterases Apodaca 1.3 MFO Villa de Santiago.12.14 Absorbance.16.18.8 1.4.82.22.83 1.5 1.17.4 BIOCHEMICAL INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE IN Aedes aegypti L.

Nine localities from Nuevo Leon state, Northeastern part of Mexico were selected as the study sites. Larvae from each site were collected Weekly and transported to the Medical Entomology Laboratory of the Biological Sciences Faculty in Monterrey, Mexico. ASSAY PROCEDURE Adult mosquitoes were exposed to permethrin (.75%). After the 5% died were separated into two categories, lived and death. The head and thorax were dissected ana homogenizated in phosphate buffer. Fourty five adult mosquitoes were analyzed in triplicate per plate per locality. Five different resistance enzymes were evaluated for each mosquito: acetylcholinesterase (AChE), insensitive acetylcholinesterase (iache), elevated esterases (a, b), elevated mixed-function oxidases (MFO), gluthation-s-transferase (GST) (Brogdon y McAllister,1988).The maximum absorbance value of an A. aegypti susceptible strain (New Orleans, NO) was selected as a resistance threshold..223.2.21.226.22.2.231.22.233.235.238.241 Absorbance.2.2 GST Villa de Santiago.21 Absorbance.22.244.21.258 GST Escobedo.22.23.24.26.28.21.214 Absorbance.23.23.21.23.265 GST San Nicolás.22.24 GST Monterrey.286.298.22.25.216.218.225.233.238.22 Tolerance levels according to susceptible New Orleans strain of Aedes aegypti populations from different locations of Veracruz, Mexico Locality Assay α Esterases β Esterases GST MFO Monterrey 18.6 San Nicolás 9.3 Apodaca 2. - Guadalupe San Pedro 2. 4.

Villa de Santiago is one of the agricultural areas of the Nuevo Leon state and according with this results, the pressure selection in this areas, specially with pyrethroids is very common.

CONCLUSION It was proved that α-esterases is involved in the insecticide resistance in accordance with the high frequency value observed in Ae. aegypti in 9 Municipalities of Nuevo Leon. Although MFO is present in high proportion there is no relation with permethrin selected populations in Nuevo Leon
FACTS The vector program of the Ministry of Health in Mexico has utilized, according to the Official Regulations of Mexico (NOM- 32-SSA), the following insecticides since 196 for the control dengue and malaria: DDT which is currently restricted, but was once used for a long period of time for indoor house spraying; malathion in ultra low volume space-spraying spraying of wide areas for both Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes; and temephos or 1% Abate granules applied to bodies of water and domestic containers for control of the larvae.
