Effect of insecticide resistance on development, longevity and reproduction of field or laboratory selected Aedes aegypti populations
Submitted by susan on Mon, 2012-03-19 11:55
Aedes aegypti dispersion is the major reason for the increase in dengue transmission in South America. In Brazil, control of this mosquito strongly relies on the use of pyrethroids and organophosphates against adults and larvae, respectively. In consequence, many Ae. aegypti field populations are resistant to these compounds. Resistance has a significant adaptive value in the presence of insecticide treatment.
