Monitoring alpha-cypermethrin susceptibility of phlebotomus argentipes, the vector of visceral leishmaniasis in india, using the cdc bottle bioassay

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors assessed the susceptibility status of wild-caught sand flies and F1 progeny using the CDC bottle bioassay. The results of this study showed that P. argentipes is potentially developing resistance signalling the need for continuous and vigilance to sustain the validation of elimination once achieved. This unplanned control of VL led to the adoption of IRS by the Indian VL Elimination Program as the main focus for P. argentipes control. The results of this study provide evidence of an early sign of the development of selection pressure against alpha-cypermethrin.
