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.
