A Mark-Release-Recapture Study to Estimate Field Performance of Imported Radio-Sterilized Male in Albania.

The pathogen transmitting mosquito is spreading rapidly in Europe, putting millions of humans and animals at risk. This species is well-established in Albania since its first detection in 1979. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is increasingly gaining momentum worldwide as a component of area-wide-integrated pest management.

Current insecticide resistance status in Anopheles sacharovi and Anopheles superpictus populations in former malaria endemic areas of Turkey.

Anopheles sacharovi and Anopheles superpictus have a significant public health importance since they are primer and seconder malaria vectors of Turkey, respectively. As a result of intensive insecticide usage in historically malaria endemic regions of Turkey for long years, insecticide resistance problem has occurred inevitably. In this study, we aimed to investigate the involvement of the detoxification enzymes in insecticide resistance in Turkish An.

[Malathion and propoxur resistance in Turkish populations of the Anopheles maculipennis Meigen (Diptera: Culicidae) and relation to the insensitive acetylcholinesterase].

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate insecticide resistance related to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) sensitivity and annual changes in An. maculipennis from six different populations.

Methods: Larvae and adult samples of An.

Monitoring of five different insecticide resistance status in Turkish house fly Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) populations and the relationship between resistance and insecticide usage profile.

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the resistance status and yearly changes involved for house fly populations from six cities in Turkey.

Methods: Field strains of house fly (Musca domestica L. Diptera: Muscidae) were collected in 2004-2006 from cow farms (Antalya, İzmir) and garbage dumps (Adana, Ankara, İstanbul, Şanlıurfa) in Turkey.
