Resumo
The mosquito Aedes aegypti has evolved resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. The present study evaluated
Ae. aegypti from Goiânia for the resistant phenotype and for mutations associated with resistance. Methods: Insecticide
dose-response bioassays were conducted on mosquitoes descended from fi eld-collected eggs, and polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) was used to genotype 90 individuals at sites implicated in pyrethroid resistance. Results: All mosquito populations
displayed high levels of resistance to deltamethrin, as well as high frequencies of the 1016Ile kdr and 1534Cys kdr mutations.
Conclusions: Aedes aegypti populations in the Goiânia area are highly resistant to deltamethrin, presumably due to high
frequencies of kdr (knockdown-resistance) mutations.
