Abstract
Insecticide resistance is a serious problem in the control of many vector-borne diseases, particularly in developing countries where the possibility of changing to an alternative compound may be restricted. Consequently genes giving susceptibility to insecticides in vector species can be viewed as constituting a valuable resource to be used up with discretion. The exchange of information and thought taking place in the Workshop was centred upon possible ways to conserve this resource, i.e. to slow down the evolution of resistance while maintaining adequate control, so preserving the effective life of available insecticides as long as possible. The subject was treated mainly in relation to insect vectors of disease although niost of the discussion would also be relevant to other insect pests.
