Background Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors of a variety of emerging viral pathogens,
including yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus. This species has established …

Resistance management for insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) remains a challenge. Options
are limited, because a safe and highly active insecticide with a persistence of several …

Aedes aegypti poses a serious risk to human health due to its wide global distribution, high
vector competence for several arboviruses, frequent human biting, and ability to thrive in …

The mosquito Anopheles stephensi Liston (Diptera: Culicidae) is the urban vector of malaria
in several countries of the Middle East and Indian subcontinent. Extensive use of residual …

Background Pyrethroid and organophosphate resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles
gambiae has led to the search for not only alternative insecticides, but also repellent …

Background Improved understanding of the molecular basis of insecticide resistance may
yield new opportunities for control of relevant disease vectors. In this current study, we …

Seven F1 strains of Aedes aegypti (L.) were evaluated by bottle bioassay for resistance to
the pyrethroids d-phenothrin, permethrin, deltamethrin, λ-cyalothrin, bifenthrin, cypermethrin …

Background Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are the major vectors of arboviral
diseases. As effective vaccines are not available for most of the arboviral diseases, vector …

Background Drastic increases of dengue fever (DF) over the past few years have prompted
studies on the development of resistance to insecticides in the mosquito vector, Aedes …

New promising insect control efforts are now being evaluated such as biological alternatives
or even transgenic insects and Wolbachia based strategies. Although it is increasingly clear …
