Abstract

Insecticide resistance in Aedes mosquitoes can undermine arbovirus control efforts. Malathion and permethrin insecticides belong to the group of insecticides used for control and if used continuously will cause immunity of target mosquitoes. This study aims to assess the level of susceptibility of Aedes aegypti to insecticides commonly used in public health in the Enrekang Regency. The type of research used was experimental research. Female Aedes aegypti were collected from rearing results with a total sample size of 240 mosquitoes which were divided into 120 mosquitoes each in 4 treatments and 2 controls on malathion 0.8% and permethrin 0.25% insecticides. The results obtained from the research on insecticide susceptibility test results using malathion 0.8% in 60 minutes of exposure averaged 55% dead and exposure for 24 hours averaged 90% mosquito death, while permethrin 0.25% insecticide in 60 minutes of exposure averaged 90% dead mosquitoes and 24 hours exposure averaged 100% mosquito death, while for the control all live. The conclusion of the study was the susceptibility test of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to malathion 0.8% insecticide in the category of moderate resistance while permethrin 0.25% insecticide in the category of susceptible.
