Current Knowledge on Insecticide Resistance in Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) in Latin America and the Caribbean Nations : The WINSA network members publication
AbstractAedes albopictus is an important vector of several arboviruses and has expanded its distribution throughout Latin America and the Caribbean in recent decades. Despite its increasing epidemiological relevance, data on insecticide resistance in this region...
Investigadores del Instituto de Higiene detectaron alta resistencia a insecticidas en mosquitos Aedes aegypti en Uruguay
En el Laboratorio de Vectores de la Unidad Académica de Parasitología del Instituto de Higiene de la Facultad de Medicina (Udelar), investigadores identificaron que la gran mayoría de los mosquitos Aedes aegypti presentes en Uruguay poseen mutaciones genéticas que les...
Population genomics of Anopheles darlingi, the principal South American malaria vector mosquito : The WINSA network members publication
AbstractMalaria in South America remains a serious public health problem. Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) darlingi is the most important malaria vector across tropical Latin America. Vector-targeted disease control efforts require a thorough understanding of mosquito...

What we do ?
The WIN Network brings together 19 internationally recognized institutions in vector research, providing a unique framework for tracking insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors of arboviruses around the world. The network aims at identifying the particular countries/regions where resistance could challenge vector control interventions and to provide the WHO and member states with key recommendations for improvement of insecticide resistance surveillance and deployment of alternative vector control tools.
