Unfortunately, insecticides are in danger of losing their potency due to the development of resistance in vector species populations. The worst-case scenario is when a single resistance mechanism confers resistance to many insecticide classes, thereby hindering resistance management. Therefore, applying appropriate insecticide-based…
