Chikungunya resurgence highlights gaps in Aedes surveillance and control in South America
Over the past decade, chikungunya has re-emerged as a major public health concern in the Americas.1 In 2025 alone, more than 313,000 cases and 170 deaths were reported across 18 countries, according to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Transmission...

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...

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.
