BACKGROUND The mosquito, Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae), is a vector of dengue
fever, zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses, and in many areas possesses significant …

The objective of this study was to compare the behavioral responses (contact irritancy and
noncontact spatial repellency) between susceptible and resistant populations of Aedes …

Pyrethroid-treated clothing is commonly worn for protection against mosquitoes; pyrethroids
are both insecticides and repellents. Pyrethroid resistance has become increasingly …

The extensive reliance on insecticides to control Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and disrupt
transmission of dengue, chikungunya and Zika has fueled the emergence of widespread …

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

Behavioral responses of nine Aedes aegypti (L.) strains, six from recent field collections and
three from the long-established laboratory colonies, were tested under laboratory-controlled …

Excito-repellency responses of Aedes aegypti (L.) exposed to deltamethrin and
cypermethrin were assessed using an excito-repellency test system. Contact irritancy and …

Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus mosquitoes are vectors of important human disease
viruses, including dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya and Zika. Pyrethroid insecticides are …

Puerto Rico (PR) has a long history of vector-borne disease and insecticide-resistant Aedes
aegypti (L.). Defining contributing mechanisms behind phenotypic resistance is critical for …

BACKGROUND The control of Aedes aegypti (L.), the main urban vector that causes
arboviral diseases such as dengue, Chikungunya and Zika, has proved to be a challenge …
