It is caused by infection with the Dengue virus, which can be spread through a vector in the form of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. One of the ways to reduce the incidence of dengue infection is by controlling vectors. &lt;strong&gt;Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of vector control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito on the dengue incidence in Southeast Asia. Methods and findings: This study was a systematic review that examines articles with experimental research designs and cluster randomized controlled trials. The scope of this research area is limited to Southeast Asian countries during 2012-2021. There are 333 articles obtained from two sources: PubMed and ScienceDirect, by using certain keywords. Furthermore, articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, so that 31 articles were obtained. A total of 6 articles that met the inclusion criteria were then selected for further analysis. Three journals that discussed the output in the form of the Larva Density Index (LDI) showed a decrease with significant results. Two journals that discussed biological control (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) got significant results in decreasing Pupal Density (PD). The two journals on chemical control (permethrin) that discussed the outcome of the presence or absence of IgG seroconversion show insignificant results.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: All control methods are considered effective. However, among the three vector control methods studied, the control with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis is the most effective method.&lt;/p&gt;

One way of biologically controlling mosquitoes that is safer and more environmentally friendly is fish as natural predators of larval and pupae stage mosquitoes. One fish tested in this study was Rosy Barb (&lt;em&gt;Pethia conchonius&lt;/em&gt;). &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study aimed to compare the male and female fish predation ability of rosy barb (&lt;em&gt;P. conchonius&lt;/em&gt;) in Aedes aegypti larval and pupal stages. Methods: This study is a laboratory experiment with a post-test-only design and five replications. One aquarium holds one litre of water, one fish, and 25 &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti &lt;/em&gt;larval/pupa tails. Fish testing begins at 09.00 WIB in the morning. Fish predation was timed until the fish consumed all larvae and pupae. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The mean time of predation of male&lt;em&gt; P. conchonius &lt;/em&gt;to larvae was 12.03 minutes, and pupae were 2.83 minutes. The mean time of predation of female P. conchonius on larvae was 11.70 minutes, and pupae were 4.28 minutes. The results of the independent sample t-test equal variance assumed statistical test showed that male and female fish had mosquito larvae feeding times that were not significantly different (p&amp;gt; 0.05). Male and female fish had mosquito pupa feeding times that were not significantly different (p &amp;gt; 0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Rosy barb fish (&lt;em&gt;P. conchonius&lt;/em&gt;) has the potential as a natural predator of &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti &lt;/em&gt;larval and pupal stages.&lt;/p&gt;

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme in &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti&lt;/em&gt; that encoded by the ace-1 gene. Damage in the ace-1 gene as target of insecticide lead to the loss of the normal structure and function of AChE. However, damage in the ace-1 gene remains uncharacterised. The main aim of this study was to find out the point mutations of ace-1 gene in &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti&lt;/em&gt; larvae treated with methanolic extract of Citrus hystrix leaves.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; This experiment using a completely randomized design with two treatment groups. A container containing lethal concentration 50 of methanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;C. hystrix le&lt;/em&gt;aves, and a control group containing only water with 0.5% Tween-20. Each group contained 50 third instar larvae of &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti&lt;/em&gt;, and each group was repeated four times. Observation was performed for 24 h for the number of survived and dead larvae. Survived and dead larvae were collected prior to the DNA extraction, PCR, electrophoresis, and sequencing. The sequences of those two groups were then compared to determine the point mutations using genetyx ver 12. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The PCR products of both groups showed clear bands of 500-600 bp long. Furthermore, the presence of the mutation was confirmed by sequencing the PCR product of ace-1 between each treatment group. The survived larva in the extract-treated group showed more point mutation compared with that of dead larvae. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; This first report indicated that many mutations in the form of deletions and insertions in nitrogenous bases and different amino acid variations of the ace-1 gene of third instar larvae of &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti &lt;/em&gt;after 24 h treated with methanolic extract of C. hystrix leaves than those in control group.&lt;/p&gt;

The LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; and LC&lt;sub&gt;90&lt;/sub&gt; values of leaf extracts were determined with the help of probit analysis.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Among the different extracts of leaf screened, the ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;C. philippinum&lt;/em&gt; was recorded the highest larvicidal and pupicidal activity of 100 &amp;plusmn; 1.9 % (1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; instar) and 58 &amp;plusmn; 0.8 % at 600 ppm concentration for controlling&lt;em&gt; An. stephensi&lt;/em&gt;, respectively. Similarly for &lt;em&gt;Ae. aegypti&lt;/em&gt;, 97 &amp;plusmn; 1.2 (1st instar) and 51 &amp;plusmn; 0.5 (pupa) percentage of inhibition were achieved for the same solvent extracts of the leaf which were maximum than others.

However, the combined treatment of &lt;em&gt;T. purpurea + B. sphaericus&lt;/em&gt; (1:2) material shows highest larvicidal activity of the LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values 80.08, 82.21, 88.00, 92.21 and 98.16 ppm; The LC&lt;sub&gt;90&lt;/sub&gt; values of 108.39, 118.71, 136.75, 149.02 and 153.24 ppm, against &lt;em&gt;A. aegypti&lt;/em&gt; in all the tested concentrations than the individuals and clearly established that there is a substantial amount of synergist act. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study reported that both &lt;em&gt;T. purpurea and B. sphaericus&lt;/em&gt; materials could serve as a potential larvicidal agent. Since, &lt;em&gt;A. aegypti&lt;/em&gt; is a container breeder vector mosquito this user and eco-friendly and low-cost vector control strategy could be a viable solution to the existing dengue disease burden. Therefore, this study provides first report on the mosquito larvicidal activity the combined effect of &lt;em&gt;T. purpurea&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract and &lt;em&gt;B. sphaericus&lt;/em&gt; against as target species of &lt;em&gt;A. aegypti&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">737</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ramesh Venkadachalam&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Vijayakumar Subramaniyan&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Manogar Palani&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Mahadevan Subramaniyan&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Prabhu Srinivasan&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and Murugan Raji&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
