Article Abstract
Objective: The feasibility of the use of WHO impregnated paper and biochemical assays to determine lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC99) and insecticide metabolic enzyme levels of Triatoma dimidiata.
Materials And Methods: LC50 and LC99 were calculated with WHO papers impregnated at different concentrations of malathion, propoxur and deltamethrin; the percentage of insensitive acetylcholinesterase (iAChE); and the levels of esterases, glutathione S-transferases, and monooxygenases in laboratory nymphs of the first stage (5 to 7 days), were undertaken using the WHO biochemical assays.
Results: Respectively the LC50 and LC99 μg/cm2 obtained for malathion were 43.83 and 114.38, propoxur 4.71 and 19.29, and deltamethrin 5.80 and 40.46. A 30% of the population had an iAChE, and only a few individuals had high P450 and β-eterase levels.
Conclusions: Impregnated papers and biochemical tests developed by WHO for other insects, proved to be feasible methods in monitoring insecticide resistance and metabolic enzymes involved in T. dimidiata.

Phthorimaea operculella, a major pest of potato crops, causes significant yield losses, prompting farmers to rely on harmful pesticides. This study evaluates the insecticidal activity of essential oils from Tanacetum vulgare and Rosmarinus officinalis as sustainable alternatives. Chemical analysis revealed that Tanacetum vulgare oil is primarily composed of o-Phenylanisole (25.

Hyalomma anatolicum is a multi-host ixodid tick species that significantly contributes to the spread of pathogens, posing economic and health challenges for livestock populations. This study assessed the acaricide resistance status to ivermectin in H. anatolicum field populations from north-western state of Punjab, India by larval immersion test.

Background: The first isoxazoline-based acaricide (fluralaner) for the control of Rhipicephalus microplus was introduced onto the market in 2022, initially in Brazil, followed by other Latin American countries. Therefore, it is important to establish laboratory methods to monitor the susceptibility of populations of R. microplus to this molecule and to determine the relationship between the results of laboratory tests and those from field trials.
