Objective: To describe the use of chemical insecticides throughout history as the main tool to fight against Aedes aegypti, a vector of dengue virus. Methods: A text mining approach was conducted on databases, such as PUBMED and SCIENCE DIRECT, using the keywords “Aedes aegypti”, combined with the words “insecticides”, “resistance”, “organochlorines”, “organophosphates”, “carbamates” and “pyrethroids”. Results related to historical information dealing with the chemical control of Aedes aegypti, in particular those containing data on insecticide resistance for this species, were scrutinized and analyzed. Results: Different chemical groups have been utilized to control A. aegypti, including organochlorine, organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid insecticides. In general, the tendency has been to replace a particular pesticide, for which resistance had been detected, for a new one, mosquito-sensitive, and with little evidence of deleterious effects derived from its use. The spread of resistance has been registered in several countries of America, Asia and Africa. Two mechanisms have been highly cited to be responsible for the resistance; the increase activity of detoxifying enzymes, and structural changes in the insecticide target site, mostly within the central nervous system. Conclusion: Excessive use of chemical insecticides and the lack of dosing control have led to widespread resistance in A. aegypti, as no “safer” alternative chemical options are available for vector control in different countries, impacting human health., as no “safer” alternative chemical options are available for vector control in different countries, impacting human health.

(^{1, 2}), including the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, India, Africa and the subtropical zone of America (³). This vector is distributed between 35° North and 35° South, but it may extend to 45° North to 40° South. Usually, it is found below 1200 m, although it has been reported around 2400 m (⁴). A. aegypti is native to Africa and it probably invaded other continents via transport ships that carried freshwater reservoirs on board, and resupplied in African ports during the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries, being introduced into the rest of the world following the same route (⁵). Breeding sites are essentially artificial: urban (vacant lots, salvage yards, landfills) or domestic (tires, bottles, open cans or containers of any kind, drinking water, tanks, pots and jars, among others) (⁴).

(⁵). It has been estimated that worldwide, 2.5 billion people are at risk of acquiring the disease, approximately 50–100 million cases of dengue fever are reported each year, 500,000 people with severe dengue require hospitalization, and around 2.5% of diseased people die (⁶). The expansion of the mosquito populations may be explained by many factors, including demographic explosion, global warming, and the traffic of people between the infested communities and those previously vector free (⁷).

(⁸). However, the most widely used control for Aedes populations, due to its effectiveness in regulating larval and adult populations, is the utilization of chemical insecticides (⁹).

(⁸).

Bacillus thuriengensis H -14 (BTI) are the two most frequently employed organisms. According to McCall and Kittayapong (¹⁰), the pyriproxyfen, and insect growth regulator, has also been used for the control of the dengue vector. This method has been documented to only be effective in the immature stages of the vector mosquitoes (¹¹). Finally, integrated control is the combination of the available control methods in the most effective, economical, and safe manner to decrease vector populations (⁸).

Aedes aegypti.

Aedes aegypti”, “resistance”, “organochlorines”, “organophosphates”, “carbamates” and “pyrethroids”, were employed to carry out the search. Aspects such as the history of chemical insecticide use, resistance development, resistance mechanisms, and effects of pesticides on human health, constituted the inclusion criteria to consider citations in the review.

Evolution of mosquito control with chemical insecticides

(¹²).

A. aegypti: organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids (¹³). Organochlorine pesticides are lipophilic compounds with low vapor pressures and slow degradation rates (¹⁴). These are known for their toxicity, persistence in the environment, and bioaccumulation in the food chain. This last property was one of the main reasons why these were replaced by organo phosphate espesticides, as they could be more asily degraded in the environment (¹⁵). Organochlorine insecticides were widely used between 1940s and mid 1960s, when they were discontinued due to their environmental effects (¹⁴). Organophosphates (OPs) are pesticides of low persistence in the environment, which are hydrolysed to high or low pH (¹⁶). These were developed during World War II as nerve gases, and their insecticidal properties were discovered shortly thereafter (¹⁷). The OPs have become widely used as replacements for organochlorine insecticides because they do not bioaccumulate in organism tissues or the environment (¹⁴). Carbamates are derivatives of the carbamic acid. These chemicals share the same mode of action with OPs, inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase, although this effect can be more easily reversed, and the insects may recover at low doses (¹⁸). These last two types of insecticides have a broad spectrum of activity, rapid environmental degradation (¹⁹), relatively short biological half-lives, and are rapidly metabolized and excreted (¹⁴). The fourth group comprises pyrethroids, the most recently introduced insecticides (²⁰), entering the marketplace in 1980 (²¹). They are considered safe due to their high insecticidal properties at low application rates, short persistence in the environment, no bioaccumulation and low mammalian toxicity (²²), reasons supporting their extensive use (²³).

Table ¹ Table , in most cases, the records of the introduction and date of their use are not accurate. In general, each country has employed these chemicals based on its particular needs, in particular, according to the occurrence or reemergence of dengue outbreaks in a given time. The replacement of each pesticide for a new one depends on the resistance developed by the vector, and the criteria for effective insecticides considered relevant by authorities in each territory. Malathion, for example, has been one of the most frequently used. In Colombia, it has been utilized since 1980, and it is widely employed today (²⁴). Mexico, however, suspended its use in 1999 (²⁵). In Thailand, it was applied since 1950 but its arrest is not documented (²⁶), and in Cuba it was abandoned with the introduction of pyrethroids (²⁷). It is important to highlight that in some cases, pesticide use has been carried out combining different classes of insecticides, such as DDT with pyrethroids, although cross-resistance has been observed (²⁸).

Table

(⁹, ²⁹).

Table 2. All these chemicals are not used simultaneously, but each country has employed specific insecticides throughout history, with peculiarities in both use and dosage form. A total of 40 countries from different continents recorded the use of insecticides for control of dengue during 20032005. The most widely used insecticides for vector control have been organophosphates and pyrethroids. In fact, a total of 262 tons of organophosphate (OP) insecticides and 39 tons of pyrethroids per year have been utilized (³⁰).

Americas. In the case of pyrethroids, 78 % was for space spraying, and the remaining percentage for peri-focal spraying. Pyrethroids were used for peri-focal spraying mainly in countries from the Americas, and a very small quantity in the Western Pacific. About 50% of the total global usage of pyrethroid insecticides took place in countries from the Western Pacific and about 47 % in the Americas. The amount of OPs and pyrethroids used for dengue vector control constituted 60 % and 24 %, respectively, of the total annual use of insecticides (³⁰).

A. aegypti is mostly performed with Ops; being malathion the most frequently utilized, constituting 67 % of the average annual use, followed by temephos (22 %) (³⁰).This last has been the leading pesticide used as larvicide in Malaysia (³¹), Port Suan City (Red Sea State) (³²), Thailand (³³), Panama, El Salvador, Cuba, Martinique Island, French Guiana, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia (²², ²⁴, ²⁷, ^34-41).

(³⁰). Other insecticides have also been critical for the control of A. aegypti, including fenthion, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin, cyhalothrin, cyfluthrin, propoxur, bendiocarb, dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) and dieldrin (²², ²⁴, ²⁷, ^34-41). According to WHO, during 2001, in terms of coverage, budget, human resources and amount of insecticide used, Brazil was the country with the most extensive program of control of A. aegypti. Reports from 2002 showed that in the Americas, vector control was mainly carried out with insecticides (⁴²). In Colombia, for example, the main strategies conducted by local governments for vector control are aerial spraying of the insecticide, using thermal fogging or ultra-lowvolume spraying, in particular with organophosphates, such as malathion (96 %), fenitrothion (40 %), or the pyrethroid compound, deltamethrin. Currently, insecticide spraying in Colombia is recommended for outbreaks, or when cases of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever are confirmed (²⁴).

Aedes aegypti

A. aegypti, leading to widespread resistance (⁴³). Two main mechanisms have been reported to be responsible (²⁸): the first involves an increased activity of detoxifying enzymes, including esterases, mixed function oxidases (cytochrome P450s), and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) (⁴⁴); and the second deals with structural changes in the insecticide target site in the central nervous system (⁴⁵).

(⁴⁶).

Caribbean, several A. aegypti populations have shown strong resistance to OPs, carbamates, and pyrethroids, existing correlations with elevated activities of at least one detoxification enzyme family. The resistance to OPs and carbamates is connected with acetylcholinesterase insensitivity (¹³, ⁴⁶). In the case of temephos, for example, the resistance detected to this insecticide was related to the increased activity of esterases, specifically esterase A4 (⁹). In addition, several non-synonymous mutations in the gene encoding the trans-membrane voltage-gated sodium channel (kdr mutations) have been described to confer resistance to pyrethroids and DDT (²²).

Aedes aegypti to insecticides such as temephos (⁹, ^{37, 38}, ^47-50) and pyrethroids (¹³, ³⁷, ⁴⁴, ⁵¹, ⁵⁴), showing with these, the evolution of resistance registered worldwide.

(⁶¹).

A. aegypti has been one of the main strategies against dengue virus transmission, but it is mostly based on chemical in secticides, which induce resistance in mosquitoes and also cause damage to humans and the environment. This resistance is probably due to the lack of regulation in use and in the dosage of each case. This review supports the need to generate mosquito control strategies that are environmentally friendly with minimal affectations on human populations.
