Background Aedes mosquitoes pose a significant global threat as vectors for several debilitating arboviruses,includ-ing dengue,Zika,yellow fever,and chikungunya.Their unique breeding habits,behavior,and daytime activi...
The use of insecticides remain the most effective vector control approach for mosquito borne diseases like malaria,dengue fever,chikungunya,and Zika virus disease;however,their increasing resistance has complicated th...
Background & Objectives: Epidemics of arboviruses such as Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika have been recorded in recent years indicating that Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are both important and very active vectors i...
Funding for the meeting was provided by TDR,IAEA and the CDC.Laboratory resources for the workshop were provided by the Institut Louis Malardé.
Background Vector-borne diseases cause morbidity and mortality globally.However,some areas are more impacted than others,especially with climate change.Controlling vectors remains the primary means to prevent these di...
Background The World Health Organization(WHO)has emphasized the urgent need for alternative strategies to chemical insecticides for controlling mosquito populations,particularly the invasive Aedes species,which are kn...

Objective:To determine the current insecticide resistance status of Aedes(Ae.)aegypti and Ae.albopictus to four insecticides,namely 0.05%deltamethrin,0.75%permethrin,5%malathion and 0.25%pirimiphos-methyl using the Wo...
The effectiveness of current control measures against Aedes mosquitoes remains low, resulting in persistent epidemics in urban areas. The emergence of resistant mosquito populations to chemical insecticides highlights...

This review aimed to determine the prevalence of the insecticide resistance status of the field-collected Aedes(Ae.)aegypti and Ae.albopictus in Malaysia from 2010 to 2022 towards carbamates,organochlorines,organophos...
The present research received funds from Department of Zoology and Environmental Management,University of Kelaniya,Sri Lanka.
Objective:To determine the diversity of microbiota associated with different breeding habitats of dengue vector mosquitoes Aedes(Ae.)aegypti and Ae.albopictus and to identify any parasitic,epibiont,pathogenic,competit...
Aedes-borne diseases remain a public health challenge for many countries globally. The extent of spread of invasive species of Aedes mosquitoes and risk of transmission of the diseases especially around the point of e...
