Insecticide resistance mechanisms in Aedes aegypti

Dengue is the most rapidly spreading vector borne disease. In Thailand, the number of dengue cases increased from 46,829 in 2006 to 76,059 by September 2008 (WHO, 2008). Insecticides play a vital role in controlling this disease but the success of control programmes is continually threatened by the emergence and spread of insecticide resistance in the vector population.
