Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes albopictus has a well-established presence in southern European countries, associated with recent disease outbreaks (e.g. chikungunya).

Data on the species' resistance status are essential for efficient and sustainable control. To date the insecticide resistance status of...
