PacMOSSI short course: Aedes Insecticide Resistance Monitoring

Aims of meeting.

Insecticide resistance in Aedes vectors threatens the effectiveness of vector control. Resistance data are needed to inform the selection of interventions and design of strategies. However, there is no recent data available for numerous countries in the Pacific. This training is designed to support participants to generate resistance data after returning to work.

Students will be trained and gain experience to:

Rear

Aedes species in low capacity insectaries for use in resistance assays

Evaluate

insecticide resistance using the WHO tube test, CDC bottle bioassay and larval assays

Identify

mosquitoes to Aedes, Culex and anophelines and differentiating to male and female

Document

and interpret insecticide resistance data, and implications
