Quality of conduct and interpretation of insecticide susceptibility in bioassays using new insecticides for vector control

This meeting report outlines the outcomes of a technical consultation to consider the quality of conduct and interpretation of insecticide susceptibility of mosquitoes to new insecticides for vector control. A provisional definition of susceptibility to chlorfenapyr was developed and questions about bioassay sample size and use of adjuvants were discussed. Finally, requirements for developing discriminating concentrations were determined, and a protocol will be prepared.
