Geographic Monitoring of Insecticide Resistance Mutations in Native and Invasive Populations of the Fall Armyworm

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Simple Summary The moth fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a major agricultural pest insect damaging a wide range of crops, especially corn. Field evolved resistance against Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins and synthetic insecticides has been ...

Cuticular competing endogenous RNAs regulate insecticide penetration and resistance in a major agricultural pest

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2023
Background The continuously developing pesticide resistance is a great threat to agriculture and human health. Understanding the mechanisms of insecticide resistance is a key step in dealing with the phenomenon.

Mapping trends in insecticide resistance phenotypes in African malaria vectors

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Mitigating the threat of insecticide resistance in African malaria vector populations requires comprehensive information about where resistance occurs, to what degree, and how this has changed over time.

Some Observations on Insecticide Resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A model for development of resistance to an insecticide in an insect population is presented. The rate of development of resistance increased with increases in the proportion of the breeding population exposed to the insecticide and with increases in the

Insecticide Resistance and Vector Control [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 1998
Insecticide resistance has been a problem in all insect groups that serve as vectors of emerging diseases. Although mechanisms by which insecticides become less effective are similar across all vector taxa, each resistance problem is potentially unique and may involve a complex pattern of resistance foci.

Insecticide control of vector-borne diseases: when is insecticide resistance a problem? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2010
Many of the most dangerous human diseases are transmitted by insect vectors. After decades of repeated insecticide use, all of these vector species have demonstrated the capacity to evolve resistance to insecticides.

Evaluating insecticide resistance across African districts to aid malaria control decisions

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Malaria control in Africa largely relies on the use of insecticides to prevent mosquitoes from transmitting the malaria parasite to humans; however, these mosquitoes have evolved resistance to these insecticides.

malERA: An updated research agenda for insecticide and drug resistance in malaria elimination and eradication.

open access: yesPLoS Medicine, 2017
Resistance to first-line treatments for Plasmodium falciparum malaria and the insecticides used for Anopheles vector control are threatening malaria elimination efforts. Suboptimal responses to drugs and insecticides are both spreading geographically and

Microbiome variation correlates with the insecticide susceptibility in different geographic strains of a significant agricultural pest, Nilaparvata lugens

open access: yesnpj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023
Microbiome-mediated insecticide resistance is an emerging phenomenon found in insect pests. However, microbiome composition can vary by host genotype and environmental factors, but how these variations may be associated with insecticide resistance ...

Insecticide resistance mechanisms in the green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) I: A transcriptomic survey. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Insecticide resistance is one of the best examples of rapid micro-evolution found in nature. Since the development of the first synthetic insecticide in 1939, humans have invested considerable effort to stay ahead of resistance phenotypes ...
