The present study is to test Fenitrothion 50% and Temephos 10% against Culex quinquefasciatus larvae in a laboratory at Rayyan municipality, Qatar state. Different concentrations were taken separately, adding to the tested cups with 20 larvae and in a volume of water of 100 ml. then the mortality was recorded after 24, 48 hours. And analyzed by Probit. The results showed that the mortality of larvae in the summer was high than in the winter, due to the temperature, which represent the major factor that affect the survival of the larval stages of mosquitoes. Also, the appearance of resistance in vector mosquito larvae against the larvicide fenitrothion 50%, the maximum mortality value is (59.9%), which is less than (80%), the recommended value by WHO. The study recommends conducting a comprehensive entomological survey, in addition to continuing field surveillance for the development of larvicides resistance. Also, taking into account the seasonal changes in larval control strategy in Qatar. 5 اختبار حساسية يرقات بعوض الكيولكس الى مبيدي اليرقات فينيتروثيون وتيميفوس ببلدية الريان، دولة قطر مرتضى عثمان أحمد الكجم ماجستير الحشرات الطبية ومكافحة ناقﻻت اﻻمراض معهد النيل اﻻزرق القومي لﻷمراض السارية – جامعة الجزيرة ملخص الدراسة 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS Topic Page No. Dedication...........................................................

The most important group, Family Culicidae, of biting insects belong to the order Diptera. Important vectors of several tropical diseases, including dengue, malaria, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever…etc. Mosquitoes are known as vectors of several human diseases, and also cause environmental nuisances, due to their large geographical distribution. To adopt mosquito control strategy a detailed knowledge of the biology of the species is essential, knowing about the breeding sites of mosquitoes which can be used in the control program through targeting the larvae. Development of resistance to pesticides, in addition to the environmental concerns limit the use of some insecticides for mosquito control, since the discovery and identification the alternative tool for mosquito control, e.g.: biological control. 11 2- JUSTIFICATION Knowledge about insecticide resistance in target species is a basic requirement to guide insecticide use in mosquitoes control programme. The most effective method of mosquito control in Qatar is "larviciding" i.e. The treatment of breeding sites where mosquito larvae are present, because Mosquitoes in the larval stage are an important goal and simple, where mosquitoes breed in water, and thus, it is easy to deal with them in this habitat. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for the acceptance of a global strategic framework for integrated vector management (IVM); this entails increased emphasis on using all appropriate (practical and ecologically-sound) methods of vector control. Vector-borne diseases are an increasing cause of death and human suffering worldwide. Efforts to control these diseases have been focused on the use of conventional insecticides, but the insect resistance (whether physiological, biochemical, or behavioral) to insecticides is now an immense practical problem. Resistance arises through the over-use or misuse/ abuse of insecticides against a pest species and results in the selection of resistant forms of the pest and the consequent evolution of populations that are resistant to that insecticide. 12 3. Objectives Population of mosquitoes are a useful tool to provide qualitative and quantitative understandings of influences of vector larval interventions on diseases transmission. 3.1.
