Abstract: Widespread use of pyrethroid insecticides to control the main dengue vector Ae. aegypti, has caused resistance in natural populations induced by increased metabolic activity.Metabolic resistance to pyrethroids is mediated mainly by glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and esterases. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between the increased activity of detoxifying enzymes and the response after exposure to bifenthrin and deltamethrin in Mexican populations of Ae. aegypti.
