The study found that Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes from Brazil and Myanmar displayed high resistance to permethrin and household pyrethroids, showing cross-resistance. The Brazilian strain had the kdr mutations L932F+I936V in the VGSC gene, while the Myanmar strain had the common kdr mutation L1014F. Both strains carried resistance-associated haplotypes of the CYP9M10 gene.
Highly residual pyrethroids such as permethrin have been used for controlling mosquitoes that transmit infectious diseases. However, the selective pressure from such insecticides may result in cross-resistance against other pyrethroids used for household insecticides. In this study, we investigated the susceptibility of Culex quinquefasciatus Say collected from Brazil and Myanmar to permethrin in addition to four types of household pyrethroids. Both strains exhibited high resistance against all pyrethroids tested, indicating cross-resistance. Furthermore, we detected the knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations L932F+I936V in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene (VGSC) in the Brazilian strain. Notably, the L932F+I936V haplotype has previously been observed in in silico data, but it should be detected not directly from living insects. In comparison, a common kdr mutation, L1014F, was detected from the Myanmar strain. Although L1014F was also detected from the Brazilian strain, the allele frequency was too low to affect resistance. Both strains harbored the resistance-associated haplotypes of the cytochrome P450 gene, CYP9M10. The Brazilian strain demonstrated comparable resistance against pyrethroids as that of the Myanmar strain even when a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide was added to the bioassay. Our results suggested that the L932F+I936V mutations confer the Brazilian strain of Cx. Quiquefasciatus with resistance at a comparable level to that conferred by the well-recognized kdr mutation L1014F in the Myanmar strain. The identification of unexplored mutations may improve the diagnosis and understanding of resistance of this medically important species.
