Abstract

Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector that could transmit various pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Several human diseases transmitted by Ae. aegypti mosquito are dengue fever (DHF), Chikungunya, Yellow Fever and Zika. The occurance of resistance to various insecticides, including pyrethroid, is a current problem faced by various countries. In this research, a WHO bioassay test on Palembang and Jakarta Ae. aegypti was conducted using 0.25% permethrin pyrethroid insecticide. VGSC gene fragments associated with pyrethroid resistance (L982, S989, I1011, L1014, V1016 and F1534) of resistant and sensitive strains were amplified and analyzed. The test showed the presence of resistance in Ae. aegypti isolates from Palembang and Jakarta. From the results of VGSC gene fragment analyses, it was known that there were mutations (S989P and/or V1016G) on isolates from Palembang and (S989P and/or V1016G) on resistant isolates from Jakarta.
