摘要: Abstract Repeated blood feedings throughout their life span have made mosquitoes ideal transmitters of a wide variety disease agents. Vector control is very important part the current global strategy for mosquito-associated diseases and insecticide application most component in this effort. Pyrethroids, which account 25% world market, are currently widely used insecticides indoor only chemical recommended treatment mosquito nets, main tool preventing malaria Africa. However, mosquito-borne now resurgent, largely because resistance that has developed vectors anti-parasite drug parasites. This paper reviews our knowledge molecular mechanisms governing metabolic detoxification development target site insensitivity leads to pyrethroid mosquitoes.
