Implications of insecticide resistance for malaria vector control with long-lasting insecticidal nets: trends in pyrethroid resistance during a WHO-coordinated multi-country prospective study [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Increasing pyrethroid resistance has been an undesirable correlate of the rapid increase in coverage of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) since 2000.

Major effect genes or loose confederations? The development of insecticide resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2010
Insecticide use in public health and agriculture presents a dramatic adaptive challenge to target and non-target insect populations. The rapid development of genetically modulated resistance to insecticides is postulated to develop in two distinct ways ...

Insecticide resistance and malaria transmission: infection rate and oocyst burden in Culex pipiens mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium relictum [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2010
Background The control of most vectors of malaria is threatened by the spread of insecticide resistance. One factor that has been hitherto largely overlooked is the potential effects of insecticide resistance on the ability of mosquitoes to transmit ...

Environmental contaminants drive insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes in Ghana [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Insecticide-based interventions such as IRS and LLINs have significantly reduced malaria transmission globally. However, their sustainability is increasingly threatened by insecticide resistance.

Monitoring Resistance and Biochemical Studies of Three Egyptian Field Strains of Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Six Insecticides

Toxics, 2023
Background: Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) is a prominent agricultural insect pest that has developed resistance to a variety of insecticide classes. In this study, the resistance of three field strains of S.

Knockdown resistance (kdr) gene of Aedes aegypti in Malaysia with the discovery of a novel regional specific point mutation A1007G

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Improved understanding of the molecular basis of insecticide resistance may yield new opportunities for control of relevant disease vectors. In this current study, we investigated the quantification responses for the phenotypic and genotypic ...

Recent trends in global insecticide use for disease vector control and potential implications for resistance management

Scientific Reports, 2021
Insecticides have played a major role in the prevention, control, and elimination of vector-borne diseases, but insecticide resistance threatens the efficacy of available vector control tools.

Effect of Selection for Pyrethroid Resistance on Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Aedes aegypti from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico

Insects, 2021
The study of fitness costs of insecticide resistance mutations in Aedes aegypti has generally been focused on life history parameters such as fecundity, mortality, and energy reserves.

A dynamic model to simulate the development of insecticide resistance [PDF]

Computational Ecology and Software, 2023
In this article, we described a dynamic model to simulate the development of insecticide resistance. The variables as insecticide use dosage, timing and frequency of insecticide uses, genetic mutagenicity of insect individuals, insecticide-resistant ...
