A study published in Pest Management Science reveals that insecticide resistance is severely undermining efforts to control the mosquito Aedes aegypti—the primary vector of dengue fever in Bangladesh.

For the first time, researchers in Australia have documented insecticide resistance in field-collected populations of bluegreen aphids, Acyrthosiphon kondoi—a worldwide pest of pulses and other legume ...

Meet James Austin, the scientist behind the Interceptor G2 insecticide-treated bed net built to outsmart resistant mosquitoes ...

(Beyond Pesticides, August 2, 2023) A study published in Pest Management Science finds resistance to insecticides like pyrethroids are challenging attempts to control the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Ae.

Mosquitoes — perhaps the peskiest insect around — are becoming insecticide-resistant, NBC News reported July 29. The brutal summer heat hasn't helped, either, as the bugs have thrived following ...

Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses ...

For keen veggie growers and rose enthusiasts, aphids can be a real bane to your gardening dreams. These little insects are not only sap suckers—literally sucking the life out of plants—but they can ...

Bed bugs (Cimex spp.) have resurged as significant urban pests, largely driven by the evolution of resistance to widely used insecticides. Resistance mechanisms encompass target‐site alterations ...

Insecticide resistance in disease-transmitting mosquitoes and other vectors arises through a suite of biological changes that undermine the efficacy of chemical control. Metabolic resistance involves ...

A novel CRISPR-based tool introduces insecticide-susceptible genes without them spreading uncontrollably. Insecticide use and insecticide resistance form a vicious cycle – insecticides cause ...

One of the central pillars of malaria control efforts in Africa is the use of bed nets that contain an insecticide; pyrethroids have become the backbone of mosquito net programs worldwide. However, ...

For decades, insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor insecticide spraying regimens have been important – and widely successful – treatments against mosquitoes that transmit malaria, a dangerous global ...
