While insecticide-based interventions have efficiently controlled
Aedes mosquito populations for several years, as a result
of the reliance on a few active ingredients registered and used in
public health, resistance has now evolved [6]. Resistance to all four
classes of insecticides (carbamates, organochlorines, organophosphates
and pyrethroids) has developed in Ae. aegypti [6], and there
is mounting evidence that this resistance is compromising the success
of control interventions: for example, pyrethroid resistance is
negatively impacting on adulticide campaigns in Caribbean [7,8],
