Abstract
The global prevalence of dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades.Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus act as the most important vectors of dengue fever.As the vector control is mainly implemented using chemicals,the large quantities of chemical insecticides applied annually in the world directly or indirectly result in insecticide resistance in vector mosquitoes.In this review,we reported the recent research advances in resistance to insecticides and resistance mechanisms of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.
