Aims of meeting.

**Two sessions: 26th to 30th September and 10th to 14th October 2022**

Training in insecticide resistance, product efficacy and mosquito identification

The course will address the needs of vector control technical officers involved in vector surveillance. One technical officer from each Pacific Island country was be eligible to attend the one week long course to be offered in 2 periods with 10-12 students per instruction period.

Ae. aegypti colony maintenance

Insecticide resistance assays on adults

e.g., WHO Tube Test and CDC Bottle Bioassay

Insecticide resistance assays on larvae

e.g., larval bioassays

Product efficacy test on adults

e.g., cone test for residual efficacy of insecticides

Reporting and analysis of assay results

Use of Abbots correction factor, etc
