Selective use of odour-baited, insecticide-treated targets to control tsetse flies Glossina austeni and G. brevipalpis in South Africa Institute of Tropical Medicine
The additional benefit of residual spraying and insecticide-treated curtains for dengue control over current best practice in Cuba Institute of Tropical Medicine Ghent University
BACKGROUND: Aedes control interventions are considered the cornerstone of dengue control programmes, but there is scarce evidence on their effect on disease. We set-up a cluster randomized controlled trial in Santiago de Cuba to evaluate the entomological and epidemiological effectiveness of periodical intra- and peri-domiciliary residual insecticide (deltamethrin) treatment (RIT) and long lasting insecticide treated curtains (ITC).

Phenotypic insecticide resistance status of the Culex pipiens complex: a European perspective Institute of Tropical Medicine
Background: The common house mosquito Culex pipiens is known to be a major vector for West Nile virus. In order to decrease risks of West Nile virus outbreaks in Europe, insecticides and the bio-larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) are commonly used for vector control. Alarmingly, insecticide resistance has been reported in Cx. pipiens populations from Southern Europe and several countries neighbouring Europe. For Central and ...
Susceptibility status of the wild-caught Phlebotomus argentipes (Diptera Psychodidae: Phlebotominae), the sand fly vector of visceral leishmaniasis, to different insecticides in Nepal Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is targeted for elimination as a public health problem in Nepal by 2023. For nearly three decades, the core vector control intervention in Nepal has been indoor residual spraying (IRS) with pyrethroids. Considering the long-term use of pyrethroids and the possible development of resistance in the vector Phlebotomus argentipes sand flies, we monitored the susceptibility status of their field populations ...
