Insecticide resistance in disease vectors from Mayotte: an opportunity for integrated vector management
... In contrast, temephos (larvicide) was used in Mayotte from 1973 to 2012 and deltamethrin (adulticide) has been used since 1984 ([16], Belon, personal communica- tion), but no resistance was observed in either Ae. aegypti ...
