Global report on insecticide resistance in malaria vectors: 2010-2016.

Insecticide-based vector control is a cornerstone in the fight against malaria. Selection of vector-control interventions should take into account the resistance status of local mosquito vectors along with other factors associated with intervention deployment and use such as availability, cost and cost -effectiveness as well as population acceptance or compliance. Strategic insecticide resistance monitoring is therefore essential to inform evidence-based vector control.
