Insecticide resistance occurs when genetic changes in mosquitoes, driven by insecticide exposure, compromise control efforts in the field. Laboratory and field tests play a critical role in determining whether an insecticide or product remains effective. In this webinar, Janet McAllister will discuss resistance mechanisms and their impact on cross- and multi-resistance, highlighting how identifying these mechanisms can inform alternative control strategies. She will also explore the three key theories of resistance management—moderation, saturation, and multiple methods—to provide practical approaches for tackling resistance.
