Delayed mortality effects cut the malaria transmission potential of insecticide resistant mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2016 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 and resistance mechanisms in bed bugs, Cimex spp. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 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.

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]
, 2006 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 ...

Phenotypic insecticide resistance status of the Culex pipiens complex: a European perspective
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 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 ...

The contribution of agricultural insecticide use to increasing insecticide resistance in African malaria vectors [PDF]
, 2016 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 ...

Symbiont-mediated insecticide resistance [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Development of insecticide resistance has been a serious concern worldwide, whose mechanisms have been attributed to evolutionary changes in pest insect genomes such as alteration of drug target sites, up-regulation of degrading enzymes, and enhancement of drug excretion.
