Determinasi Strain Aedes aegypti (Linn.) yang Rentan Homozigot dengan Metode Seleksi Indukan Tunggal

Abstract

Aedes aegypti is a type of mosquito that can carry dengue virus, yellow fever and chikunguya. The
spread of this mosquito is very broad, covering almost all tropical regions worldwide. This study aims to
determine the vulnerability status of homozygous Ae. aegypti. Sample of Ae. aegypti is mosquito strain from
Health Entomology Laboratory Bogor Institute of Agriculture and at random sampling. Ae. aegypti eggs
which comes from the breeders hatched separately. Insecticide‐treated paper (impregnated paper)
malathion, bendiokarb and deltamethrin are use for insecticides testing using WHO test kit. The analysis
showed that the mosquito Ae. aegypti tested with a single sib‐selection method and were exposed to the
insecticide malathion, propoksur, and showed an increasing trend sipermetrin vulnerability homozygous at
each generation. As for the fourth generation (F4) has not shown changes into a strain that is homozygous
susceptible to three types of insecticides. The formation of homozygous susceptible strains take over five
generations.
