Implications of insecticide resistance for malaria vector control with long-lasting insecticidal nets: evidence from health facility data from Benin

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Insecticide-based interventions have averted more than 500 million malaria cases since 2000, but insecticide resistance in mosquitoes could bring about a rebound in disease and mortality.

Dynamics and monitoring of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors across mainland Tanzania from 1997 to 2017: a systematic review

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Malaria still claims substantial lives of individuals in Tanzania. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spray (IRS) are used as major malaria vector control tools.

Current status of insecticide resistance among malaria vectors in Kenya

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Insecticide resistance has emerged as one of the major challenges facing National Malaria Control Programmes in Africa. A well-coordinated national database on insecticide resistance (IRBase) can facilitate the development of effective ...

Standing genetic variation in laboratory populations of insecticide‐susceptible Phlebotomus papatasi and Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) for the evolution of resistance

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Insecticides can exert strong selection on insect pest species, including those that vector diseases, and have led to rapid evolution of resistance. Despite such rapid evolution, relatively little is known about standing genetic variation for resistance ...

Multiple insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus from Mopeia, Central Mozambique

Malaria Journal
Background The main malaria vector control methods implemented in Mozambique are insecticide-treated nets (ITN’s) and indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Review of the evolution of insecticide resistance in main malaria vectors in Cameroon from 1990 to 2017

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Malaria remains a major public health threat in Cameroon and disease prevention is facing strong challenges due to the rapid expansion of insecticide resistance in vector populations.

Bioassays for Monitoring Insecticide Resistance [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2010
Pest resistance to pesticides is an increasing problem because pesticides are an integral part of high-yielding production agriculture. When few products are labeled for an individual pest within a particular crop system, chemical control options are limited.

Silverleaf whiteflies show no increase in insecticide resistance

California Agriculture, 1996
The silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring) continues to be a difficult pest to control in California's desert valleys. To gain a better understanding of the possible role that insecticide resistance plays in its annual outbreaks, a ...

Escalating pyrethroid resistance in two major malaria vectors Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) in Atatam, Southern Ghana

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Aggravation of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is threatening the efforts to control malaria by reducing the efficacy of insecticide-based interventions hence needs to be closely monitored.
