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 was designed to support participants to generate resistance data after returning to their countries.
Students will be trained and gain experience to:
01
Rear
Aedes species in low capacity insectaries for use in resistance assays
02
Evaluate
insecticide resistance using the WHO tube test, CDC bottle bioassay and larval assays
03
Identify
mosquitoes to Aedes, Culex and anophelines and differentiating to male and female
04
Document
and interpret insecticide resistance data, and implications
