The WIN network is publishing 2 free-access video tutorials on testing procedures for resistance monitoring in adult sandflies. These documents are expected to provide technicians, students, operators and academics with necessary knowledge and practical skills to conduct basic resistance tests in sandflies following standardized WHO methodologies and reporting system.

The scope is to strengthen the capacity of national control programs at risk of leishmaniasis disease to conduct appropriate monitoring and surveillance of insecticide resistance.

The purpose of this video is to provide detailed instructions on the impregnation of Whatman filter papers with insecticides for use in WHO tube test to determine insecticide resistance for flying insects such as sandflies and mosquitoes : https://youtu.be/TmR-oXgogZc The Standard Operating ...

The purpose of this video is to describe the “step by step” process to follow in the evaluation of insecticide susceptibility in sand-flies using the WHO diagnostic kit (or tube test).  The video includes also key information on how to record mortality/KD data and to proceed to decontamination ...

Each of these SOPs also includes a table for calculating the amounts of insecticide/oil/surfactant for impregnating papers or coating glass bottles.Download : ...

This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the process for impregnating filter papers with insecticides and synergists to be used in WHO tube tests for testing insecticide susceptibility of adult mosquitoes. It is primarily aimed at researchers involved in the validation of discriminating ...

This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the process for evaluating the susceptibility of adult mosquito vectors to insecticides using the WHO bottle bioassay. The bottle bioassay should be used to evaluate vector susceptibility to insecticides that are unstable or cannot impregnate usual ...

This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the process to follow for evaluating the susceptibility of adult mosquito vectors to insecticides using the WHO tube test. This bioassay is a direct response-to-exposure test, measuring mosquito mortality 24 hours after exposure to a known standard ...

The purpose of this standard operating procedure (SOP) is to describe the process for evaluating the ability of PBO to restore the susceptibility of mosquitoes to pyrethroids in pyrethroid-resistant vector populations. This bioassay provides an indirect assessment of the involvement of ...

This (standard operating procedure) SOP describes the process of exposing mosquitoes to pyriproxyfen in glass bottles, chambering mosquitoes for oviposition after exposure, and recording and interpreting test results. The SOP complements the WHO SOP for testing insecticide susceptibility of adult ...
