Delayed mortality effects cut the malaria transmission potential of insecticide resistant mosquitoes [PDF]
Malaria transmission has been substantially reduced across Africa through the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). However, the emergence of insecticide resistance within mosquito vectors risks jeopardizing the future efficacy of this ...

Insecticide Resistance on the Move
Understanding the genetics of insecticide resistance is critical to the prediction and management of resistant insects. In their perspective, [Denholm][1] and colleagues describe new work on the genetics of DDT resistance in Drosophila ([Daborn][2] et al .).

Insecticide resistance and resistance mechanisms in bed bugs, Cimex spp. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)
The worldwide resurgence of bed bugs [both Cimex lectularius L. and Cimex hemipterus (F.)] over the past two decades is believed in large part to be due to the development of insecticide resistance.

Fitness effects for Ace insecticide resistance mutations are determined by ambient temperature
Background Insect pest control programs often use periods of insecticide treatment with intermittent breaks, to prevent fixing of mutations conferring insecticide resistance.

Occurrence of the Leucine-to-Phenylalanine knockdown Resistance (kdr) Mutation in Anopheles Arabiensis Populations in Tanzania, Detected by a Simplified High-Throughput SSOP-ELISA Method. [PDF]
Molecular markers of insecticide resistance can provide sensitive indicators of resistance development in malaria vector populations. Monitoring of insecticide resistance in vector populations is an important component of current malaria control ...

Identifying Current and Missing Knowledge in the Control of Pyrethroid-Resistant Triatoma Infestans, Vector of Chagas Disease [PDF]
Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that occur mainly in Latin America. They are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.

The contribution of agricultural insecticide use to increasing insecticide resistance in African malaria vectors [PDF]
The fight against malaria is increasingly threatened by failures in vector control due to growing insecticide resistance. This review examines the recent primary research that addresses the putative relationship between agricultural insecticide use and ...

Insecticides, especially pyrethroids, are the most important in the insect pest control and preventing insect vector-borne human diseases. However, insect pests, including mosquitoes, have developed resistance in the insecticides that used against them ...

Insecticide Resistance in Fleas [PDF]
Fleas are the major ectoparasite of cats, dogs, and rodents worldwide and potential vectors of animal diseases. In the past two decades the majority of new control treatments have been either topically applied or orally administered to the host. Most reports concerning the development of insecticide resistance deal with the cat flea, Ctenocephalides ...

Phenotypic insecticide resistance status of the Culex pipiens complex: a European perspective
Background The common house mosquito Culex pipiens is known to be a major vector for West Nile virus. In order to decrease risks of West Nile virus outbreaks in Europe, insecticides and the bio-larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) are ...
