Abstrakt: Investigation showed that Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) of Chidambaram-Town, Annamalai-Nagar and Muthiah-Nagar of Tamil Nadu are still susceptible to the insecticide organophosphorus temephos with 98-100 mortality percentages. The resistance ratios of all the three sentinel sites are negligible. LC50 value was 0.002 - 0.003 ppm with high significance. It was the first temephos bioassay case study conducted on DENV vector Ae. albopictus in the selected sentinel sites and estimated lethal concentrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
