Insecticide Resistance Management for Mosquito Control: Mechanisms, Evidence, and Future Challenges

Insecticide resistance threatens the durability of mosquito control. Extending the effective life span of available insecticides is therefore a key challenge. Resistance management strategies (RMS) have been proposed and incorporated into policy guidance, yet their relative effec...

Temperature and relative humidity differentially affect deltamethrin and malathion toxicity in the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus

Background Temperature and relative humidity are key drivers of ectotherm physiology, yet their combined effects on insecticide performance remain poorly understood. Here, we experimentally quantified how both temperature and relative humidity influence the toxicity of two widely...
