36 - Survey of Naled Resistance in Aedes aegypti Populations Across the Collier Mosquito Control District

Collier County is an ideal habitat for Aedes aegypti. Unfortunately, local Ae. aegypti populations are highly resistant to pyrethroids and are also showing preliminary signs of naled resistance. To further assess the extent of naled resistance, Collier Mosquito Control District is conducting a more comprehensive spatial survey of naled resistance in local Ae. aegypti populations through a series of CDC bottle bioassays. The results will help optimize Collier Mosquito Control District’s integrated mosquito management program.
