Assessment of Mapping Insecticide Resistance of Dengue Vectors in Northern Viet Nam From 2010-2021| Chapter 11 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol.10

  The study used WHO standard methods bioassay for mosquito sensitivity to insecticides to investigate the susceptibility and resistance of mosquito populations from 189 sites in 12 provinces/cities in Northern Vietnam. From 2010 to 2021, the widespread pesticide resistance status of dengue vectors in Northern Vietnam was mapped. The data was collected in the provinces of Ha Noi, Quang Ninh, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Cao Bang, Lang Son, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh, and represents an update of documentation on the distribution and insecticide resistance status of dengue vectors in Northern Vietnam, particularly pyrethroid resistance status. The majority of Aedes aegypti populations in Ha Noi were resistant to alphacypermethrin, cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, etofenprox, lambdacyhalothrin, permethrin, and DDT, but vulnerable to malathion; most populations in other parts of the North are tolerant.

The majority of Aedes albopictus populations in most of the 12 Northern Vietnamese provinces tested were resistant to DDT but vulnerable to alphacypermethrin, cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, permethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, and Malathion, with a few populations tolerating it. This document is aimed at policymakers, national programme managers, and other partners involved in the fight against dengue fever in Vietnam.
