Status Kerentanan Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) pada Tahun 2006-2007 terhadap Malation di Bandung, Jakarta, Surabaya, Palembang dan Palu

Studies on the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti collected in 2006-2007 from five cities in Indonesia, i.e. Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Palembang and Palu were tested by using the WHO standard test to determine their susceptibility status to Malathion. The results showed that despite the fact that Malathion has been used for >32 years, in general Ae. aegypti from all study sites, except from Palembang, were still susceptible to Malathion. This paper offers some possible factors that might have involved in delaying the onset of resistance to Malathion
