Reproductive and developmental costs of deltamethrin resistance in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans
1 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Effective chemical control relies on reducing vector population size. However, insecticide selection pressure is often associated with the development of resistant populations that reduce control success. In treated areas, these resistant individuals present an adaptive advantage due to enhanced survival. Resistance can also lead to negative effects when the insecticide pressure ceases. In this study, the...
