Rumors of Aedes aegypti (L.) resistance to temephos in diferent Brazilian states justified this research, whose objective was to verify and characterize the resistance to temephos in A. aegypti populations from Paraiba State. The temephos resistance was evaluated and characterized through a diagnostic dose of 0.012 mg/l and concentration-mortality curves. The mortality data of multiple concentrations were submitted to Probit analysis, and the resistance ratios (RR) were figured out from the CL50s of the survived population and CL50 a laboratory susceptible population. All the A. aegypti populations showed resistance to temephos. The Sitio Piabas population with RR = 4.0, showed lower resistance, the Campina Grande with RR = 6.0, Lagoa do Mato with RR = 9.3 and Capim de Cheiro with RR = 9.0, showed a moderate resistance, and Boqueirao with RR = 11.0, Brejo dos Santos with RR = 16.6 and Itaporanga with RR = 15.6, showed intermediate levels of resistance to temephos. These results confirm the need of a continuous monitoring and managing program of A. aegypti resistance in Paraiba State.
