Quality Of Conduct And Interpretation Of Insecticide Susceptibility In Bioassays Using New Insecticides For Vector Control

Quality of conduct and interpretation of insecticide susceptibility in bioassays using new insecticides for vector control

This meeting report outlines the outcomes of a technical consultation to consider the quality of conduct and interpretation of insecticide susceptibility of mosquitoes to new insecticides for vector control. A provisional definition of susceptibility to chlorfenapyr was developed and questions about bioassay sample size and use of adjuvants were discussed. Finally, requirements for developing discriminating concentrations were determined, and a protocol will be prepared.
