Abstract

In the present study, the effects of two spatial repellents (SR) were determined for Aedes aegypti and Ae albopictus, the main vectors of dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika fever. The modular high-throughput screening system (HITSS) was used to evaluate the response of both species to transfluthrin and linalool SR at different concentrations. The highest spatial repellency results for Ae. aegypti were obtained by transfluthrin to 0.001% with 37.50 ± 4.33%, and for linalool to 10% with 77.50 ± 3.90%. For Ae. albopictus, the highest spatial repellency percentages for transfluthrin 0.01% were 45.00 ± 3.78%, and linalool at 1% and 10% were 56.25 ± 7.06% and 56.25 ± 6.46%, respectively. Transfluthrin caused high levels of mortality with 71.25 ± 6.66%, 79.75 ± 8.65%, and 100% to Ae. aegypti and 70.00 ± 5.98% and 98.75 ± 0.82% to Aedes albopcitus. With the results of this study, we concluded that both the transfluthrin and linalool could be used as protection measures against the bite of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus in the integral strategies for the control of vectors in Mexico.
