Insecticide susceptibility and dengue vector status of wild Stegomyia albopicta in a strategically important area of Assam, India

Abstract

St. albopicta showed resistance to DDT and reduced sensitivity to deltamethrin and malathion. This data on insecticide resistance could help public health authorities in India to design more effective vector control measures. More dengue vector specimens need to be scanned to identify the potential dengue vector.
