Abstract

Temephos is already used equally in Indonesia. Despite having used temephos as a larvacide,
Ae. aegypti mosquitoes continues to proliferate and spread the dengue virus. This is evidenced
by the increasing number of people suffering from dengue fever. This study aims to determine the
status and mechanism of resistance that occurs in Ae. aegypti located in Tanjung Bingkung,
Solok, West Sumatera. To determine the status of resistance is done susceptibility test. The
results stated that Ae. aegypti contained in Tanjung Bingkung Solok, West Sumatra has been
resistant to temephos with larval mortality 78%.
