Pyrethroids have been developed as a powerful insecticide that is widely used for space spray and residual indoor spraying, with impregnated nets included in the vector control programme. Insecticide resistance reduces the effectiveness of pesticides. Therefore, the vector susceptibility condition of the Anopheles stephensi is monitored in order to select the active ones. The current study is being conducted in a malaria-ridden area in various parts of the Alwar region of Rajasthan, India, against the malaria vector An. stephensi. The Susceptibility study was conducted by the WHO standardized method using the diagnostic doses of DDT, Alpha-cypermethrin and Deltamethrin. An. stephensi showed intermediate resistance to DDT from all over the study while susceptible to Alpha-cypermethrin and Deltamethrin.
