Public health insecticides play a crucial role in malaria control and elimination programmes. Many other arthropods, including mechanical and biological vectors of infectious diseases, have similar indoor feeding or resting behaviours, or both, as malaria mosquitoes, and could be exposed to the same insecticides. In this Personal View, we show that little is known about the insecticide susceptibility status and the extent of exposure to malaria interventions of other arthropod species. We highlight that there is an urgent need to better understand the selection pressure for insecticide resistance in those vectors, to ensure current and future active ingredients remain effective in targeting a broad range of arthropod species, allowing us to prevent and control future outbreaks of infectious diseases other than malaria.
公共卫生杀虫剂在疟疾控制和消除规划中发挥着至关重要的作用。许多其他节肢动物，包括传染病的机械和生物媒介，具有与疟疾蚊子相似的室内取食或休息行为，或同时具有这两种行为，并且可能接触到相同的杀虫剂。在本个人观点中，我们表明，对于其他节肢动物物种对疟疾干预措施的杀虫剂敏感性状况和接触程度知之甚少。我们强调，迫切需要更好地了解这些媒介物对杀虫剂抗药性的选择压力，以确保当前和未来的有效成分在针对广泛的节肢动物物种方面仍然有效，使我们能够预防和控制未来除疟疾以外的传染病的爆发。
