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.

Insights from agriculture for the management of insecticide resistance in disease vectors

Evolutionary Applications, 2018
Key to contemporary management of diseases such as malaria, dengue, and filariasis is control of the insect vectors responsible for transmission. Insecticide‐based interventions have contributed to declines in disease burdens in many areas, but this ...

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.

Gene amplification and insecticide resistance

Pest Management Science, 2011
AbstractPesticide resistance in arthropods has been shown to evolve by two main mechanisms, the enhanced production of metabolic enzymes, which bind to and/or detoxify the pesticide, and mutation of the target protein, which makes it less sensitive to the pesticide.

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 ...
