Resistance to insecticides persists a major barrier not only for efficient control of malaria but also other vector-borne diseases. Fay et al. reported the first. “report of knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in Aedes aegypti in the northeast region of Argentina. Authors demonstrate the relevance of kdr information for focused vector control interventions and public health initiatives to minimize both Aedes aegypti populations as well as insecticide use/misuse to reduce arboviral disease risks.
