Abstract
Insecticides remain a primary tool in mosquito-borne disease control; however, the resistance in mosquito populations poses a significant challenge to the efficacy. Resistance mechanisms, including target sites mutations and increase in metabolic detoxification, have emerged due to wide spread insecticide use. The growing resistance to pyrethroids used in long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) necessitates alternative control strategies. Furthermore, synthetic insecticides often negatively impact the environment and nontarget organisms, highlighting the necessity of exploring alternative pest management strategies. Biological control methods utilizing natural predators, pathogens, and parasites of mosquitoes have shown promise as viable alternatives to traditional insecticide approaches.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Pest Science publishes high-quality papers on all aspects of pest science in agriculture, horticulture (including viticulture), forestry, urban pests, and stored products research, including health and safety issues.
Journal of Pest Science reports on advances in control of pests and animal vectors of diseases, the biology, ethology and ecology of pests and their antagonists, and the use of other beneficial organisms in pest control. The journal covers all noxious or damaging groups of animals, including arthropods, nematodes, molluscs, and vertebrates.
Journal of Pest Science devotes special attention to emerging and innovative pest control strategies, including the side effects of such approaches on non-target organisms, for example natural enemies and pollinators, and the implementation of these strategies in integrated pest management.
Journal of Pest Science also publishes papers on the management of agro- and forest ecosystems where this is relevant to pest control. Papers on important methodological developments relevant for pest control will be considered as well.
