Emerging insecticide resistance is a major issue for vector control. It decreases the
effectiveness of insecticides, thereby requiring greater quantities for comparable control with …

BACKGROUND With no effective drugs or widely available vaccines, dengue control in
Bangladesh is dependent on targeting the primary vector Aedes aegypti with insecticides …

Background Pyrethroid resistance can be considered the main threat to the continued
control of many mosquito vectors of disease. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) has been used as a …

Dengue fever is an important mosquito-borne viral disease in Taiwan. Insecticide resistance
has been shown to significantly reduce the efficacy of vector control interventions. The …

Effects of knockdown resistance (kdr) were investigated in three pyrethroid‐resistant (RR)
strains of the Afrotropical mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae): Kou from …

Pyrethroids are the most used insecticide class worldwide. They target the voltage gated
sodium channel (NaV), inducing the knockdown effect. In Aedes aegypti, the main dengue …

Simple Summary Pyrethroids have been applied as a major type of insecticide targeted at
mosquitoes, many of which are key vectors in the transmission of several flaviviruses …

Abstract Background Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are important vectors of infectious
diseases, especially those caused by arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika …

Insecticide resistance has evolved in disease vectors worldwide, creating the urgent need to
either develop new control methods or restore insecticide susceptibility to regain use of …

Pyrethroid resistance is envisioned to be a major problem for the vector control program
since, at present, there are no suitable chemical substitutes for pyrethroids. Cross-resistance …
