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.
