PacMOSSI short course: Aedes Insecticide Resistance Monitoring.
Date:25 November - 29 November 2024
Location:Suva, Fiji
Mode:Practical workshop

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. Standard PacMOSSI SOPs and a Participant handbook guided the training.

 

 

Students practice skills and gained experience to:
01
Rear
Aedes species in low capacity insectaries for use in resistance assays
02
Identify
the genera of mosquito larvae and differentiate adults to males and females
03
Evaluate
insecticide resistance using the WHO tube test
04
Record
insecticide resistance data and understand its implications for vector control strategies
