Abstract: "Mosquitoes may develop resistance to
insecticide active ingredients after
repeated exposures. Thus, it is crucial that
mosquito populations be tested for
resistance to confirm efficacy of control,
inform management decisions, and protect
public and environmental health.
Nationwide Insecticide Susceptibility Screening Against Six Active Ingredients
Objectives
1) Determine a baseline of resistance for six
active ingredients commonly used in
mosquito control in the United States.
2) Assess the extent to which resistance
differs between active ingredients and
mosquito genera.; Presented for World Environmental Health Day, September 26, 2016 in Greenville, North Carolina."
