title: [State of the resistance to insecticides in adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from playa municipality, Havana City, Cuba].
abstract: The level of susceptibility and/or resistance of adult mosquitoes to lambda-cyhalothrin, clorpirifos and cypermethrin insecticides was determined in a strain of Aedes aegypti (L) collected in Playa municipality, Havana City. According to the results, the strain under study is not resistant to lambda-cyhalothrin and cypermethrin (FR < 5X), and it is as susceptible as the CAREC reference strain (FR=1) to chlorpyrifos.
