| deltamethrin resistance mechanisms in aedes aegypti populations from three french overseas territories worldwide. | aedes aegypti is a cosmopolite mosquito, vector of arboviruses. the worldwide studies of its insecticide resistance have demonstrated a strong loss of susceptibility to pyrethroids, the major class of insecticide used for vector control. french overseas territories such as french guiana (south america), guadeloupe islands (lesser antilles) as well as new caledonia (pacific ocean), have encountered such resistance. | 2015 | 26588076 |
| parity and longevity of aedes aegypti according to temperatures in controlled conditions and consequences on dengue transmission risks. | in guadeloupe, aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the only vectors of dengue and chikungunya viruses. for both diseases, vector control is the only tool for preventing epidemics since no vaccine or specific treatment is available. however, to efficiently implement control of mosquitoes vectors, a reliable estimation of the transmission risks is necessary. to become infective an ae. aegypti female must ingest the virus during a blood meal and will not be able to transmit the virus during another blood- ... | 2015 | 26258684 |
| [the prevention of dengue in guadeloupe]. | dengue is the only disease transmitted by mosquitoes in the guadeloupe islands of french antilles. two dengue outbreaks were reported in 1992 and 1994. aedes aegypti is recognized the only vector of dengue in guadeloupe, and the 200 l drums are the most important breeding-sites. vector control in guadeloupe includes community health education, larvicide and adulticide spraying, and the destruction of the breeding-sites. however, ae. aegypti control has limitations such as the lack of participati ... | 1996 | 8924773 |
