What is Biochemical characterization of insecticide resistance in field population of major JE vectors from northern districts of West Bengal, India about?
Regular monitoring of insecticide resistance among vector mosquitoes and their mechanism are very important for formulation of effective vector control measures. Insecticide resistance developed due to metabolic resistance which is mediated by the enhanced production of different detoxifying enzymes resulting in sequestration or biodegradation of insecticides. Present study was designed to assess any evidence of metabolic resistance among four major JE vectors -Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. vishnui, Cx. pseudovishnui, and Cx. gelidus from northern districts of West Bengal, India. A total of 92 adults per species of JE vectors in each study districts were analysed to measure the activity/levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), nonspecific esterase (ESTs), glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs), and cytochrome P450s mono-oxygenase (CytP450s) according to WHO protocol. A significant increase in mean AChE activity without propoxur were observed among most of the JE vector species. All four species showed significantly elevated AChE activity with propoxur, except Cx. gelidus of Darjeeling and Uttar Dinajpur. More than 70% of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus showed homozygous resistant (RR) genotype to prop
