Abstract excerpt
Aedes albopictus (Skuse), a primary dengue vector in Hong Kong, poses significant challenges to public health due to escalating insecticide resistance in Asia. To address this concern, we evaluated resistance profiles of five field-derived Ae. albopictus populations across Hong Kong using WHO insecticide susceptibility bioassays. Metabolic detoxification using synergists test with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and...
