Abstract

The current study was aimed to study the bendiocarb tolerance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. larvae from Dogbo district in Couffo department in south-western Benin, West Africa. Larvae and pupae were collected from March to July and August to November 2020 during the rainy season in the locations of Ayomi, Dévé, Honton, Lokogohoué, Madjrè and Totchangni. Larval bioassays were performed on these collected Anopheles gambiae s.l. larvae using bendiocarb as larvicide. The results showed that Anopheles gambiae s.l. larvae from Dogbo district were susceptible to bendiocarb. However, these An. gambiae s.l.  populations need to be monitored for insecticide resistance in this area.
