Insects, 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 ...

Mapping trends in insecticide resistance phenotypes in African malaria vectors
bioRxiv, 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]
, 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]
Emerging 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]
PLoS 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
Proceedings 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.

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