Abstract excerpt
Resistance to the limited number of insecticide classes remains a major challenge in mosquito control. Resistance surveillance often relies on toxicological assays conducted under standard laboratory conditions that do not reflect environmental variation, particularly temperature. Temperature is known to impact insecticide toxicity, with many pyrethroids demonstrating a negative temperature coefficient. Thus,...
