ABSTRACT
Mosquito-borne illnesses are a major concern for worldwide public health and insecticides persist as the principal method
for reducing potential vectors and disease control. As a result of widespread insecticide use emergence of resistance in mosquitoes
is a global problem. In order to overcome this issue vector control programmers should routinely check localized mosquito
vectors for insecticide resistance, which is essential for the efficient management of vector-borne diseases and schedule preventive
actions in accordance. The major techniques for determining mosquito vectors insecticide resistance (such as dose-mortality
bioassay, WHO tube testing, and CDC bottle bioassay) are highlighted in this review along with some insights into challenges
that researchers are encountering when evaluating resistance.
