Temephos is mainly used as a larvicide to control mosquitoes in dengue endemic countries including Myanmar. In 2022, Hinthada township reported the highest number of dengue cases in Ayeyarwady Region. Therefore, the main object of the study was to assess the insecticide susceptibility status of dengue vector Ae. aegypti larval population against temephos in selected areas, Hinthada Township. The present study was laboratory based study and conducted from June to November, 2022. The Aedes larvae were collected from three urban areas and three rural areas of Hinthada township. Larvicide susceptibility test was conducted in Department of Medical Research (Pyin Oo Lwin) and WHO (2016) larval bioassays method was applied in the present study. Two dosages of temephos; diagnostic dosage (0.02 mg/l) and operational dosage (1 mg/l) were used in larval susceptibility test.
