Abstract	Background: Sufloximines are new class of insecticides that are effective against certain insect pests. Sulfoxaflo r is the initial sulfoximine compound that demonstrates precise mode of action b y acting on the insect nicotinic acetylcholine rece ptors (nAChRs). Detailed understanding of the potency of sulfoxaflor against mosquitoes is a substantial approach in vector con trol. Objective: To evaluate the toxicological efficacy of sulfoxaflor compared with selected neonicotinoid pesticides on fourth instar of Aedes aegypti larvae and adults. Further, we assessed the synergistic actions of pip eronyl butoxide (PBO) and two octopamine receptor a g nists, chlordimeform (CDM) and amitraz (AMZ), on sulfoxaflor insecticide against f ourth instar and adults of Aedes aegypti. Results: Sulfoxaflor showed significant toxic effects on fourth instar larvae and adults of Aedes aegypti; however, in combination with piperonyl butoxide ( PBO), chlordimeform (CDM), and amitraz (AMZ), the toxicity of sulfoxaflor was increased substantially as determined by the synerg istic ratio (SR50) assessed after 24, 48, and 72-h exposure. Among the tested synergists, AMZ increased the potency of sulfoxaflor on both f ourth instar larvae and adults the most. Conclusion: Sulfoxaflor proved to be an effective tool in contr olling Aedes aegypti. Thus, sulfoxaflor is an auspicious prospect for t he control of Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue fever and other dis ases.
