| Introduction | Aedes species are the vectors of arboviruses that cause yellow fever, dengue, Zika and chikungunya in humans (WHO, 2014). The mosquitoes utilize both natural and artificial containers around human habitation and in the wild for breeding (Chukwuekezie et al., 2018). Resistance to various classes of insecticides has been reported in Aedes mosquitoes around the globe (Weetman et al., 2018). This study sought to identify the Aedes species in the yellow fever outbreak areas and determine their insecticide resistance profiles. |
| Purpose | Amid rising arbovirus outbreaks in West Africa, the study investigated Aedes mosquito species and their insecticide resistance in three Nigerian communities affected by recent yellow fever outbreaks. Four Aedes species were collected, with Ae. albopictus and Ae. luteocephalus recording resistance to DDT and pirimiphos-methyl, respectively. Suspected resistance to pirimiphos-methyl was also observed in Ae. aegypti. All species remained susceptible to pyrethroids and newer-generation insecticides like chlorfenapyr and clothianidin. Importantly, Ae. simpsoni complex was fully susceptible across all sites. These findings highlight the need for continued monitoring of Aedes populations and resistance trends to guide effective vector control. |
