The MoA posters with the chemical structures for insecticides/acaricides and for nematicides and the small MoA brochure (now including nematicides) have been updated to correspond with the latest versions of the IRAC MoA Classification. The documents can be downloaded from the website and printed copies will be available in early 2022. The insecticide/acaricide poster is in English but other language version are in preparation….
Discover approaches and advances in our fight against the malaria mosquito using Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM). This course is designed for anyone involved in mosquito vector control as well as students and scholars of Public Health, One Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, or Evolutionary Biology. It will also appeal to the general public interested in malaria elimination, vector-borne diseases and mosquito control, and those with a wider interest in insecticide resistance management. The RBM VCWG is proud to announce that this…

Development of insecticide resistance can result from various mechanisms: increased ability for insecticide detoxification, decreased penetration/transport, or modification of the insecticide’s target site. The target site mutation table provides a comprehensive list of established target site mutations associated with published cases of insecticide resistance. Also added is an up to date list of published references relating to the different MoA Groups….
IRAC España ha actualizado la alerta de “Uso responsable de acaricidas en cultivos de cítricos“. La falta de eficacia de productos acaricidas es un problema para el sector de la citricultura que se ha acrecentado en las últimas campañas, poniendo en condiciones de riesgo la correcta aplicación de las estrategias de manejo de resistencias, forzando un uso incorrecto de sustancias activas y reduciendo el espectro de herramientas al alcance de los agricultores para el control de estas plagas. Para…
Two new posters from the IRAC Public Health Team and a further poster from the IRAC MoA Team all relate to different aspects of resistance management in mosquitoes as vectors of malaria. Topics covered by the posters include a general overview of the importance of insect resistance management, the increasing importance of biomolecular techniques for resistance monitoring and the importance of MoA in IRM strategies. Links to the posters are given below: The importance of Insecticide Resistance Management in the…
In the Europe, flea beetle infestations are of particular concern due to the decreasing availability of insecticides. Increasing regulatory restrictions for product registrations are a key factor in the availability of effective insecticides. Of the remaining classes of chemistries available, selection pressure is high and resistance is present. The situation presents the need to adopt all available crop management practices to produce a crop with the least reliance on insecticides. The cabbage stem flea beetle poster outlines insecticide resistance…
IRAC España ha emitido una alerta sobre resistencias de Ceratitis capitata en cítricos. Desde hace varios años están descritos casos de resistencias de Ceratitis capitata a piretroides (MdA nº 3A), básicos en la estrategia de control de la mosca de la fruta en cítricos, tanto en trampas de captura masiva y/o técnicas de “atracción y muerte” como en cebo durante el periodo de cambio de color de la fruta. La colocación de trampas a inicio de campaña implica que la…
