A WHO global programme for monitoring vector resistance to pesticides.
This paper describes the programme for monitoring vector resistance to pesticides and how it was established. It presents a summary of the computer baseline data and the cumulative number of vector species developing resistance at intervals of 5 years, starting in 1956, as well as information derived from Expert Committee reports dating back to 1947. The problems and concerns of the programme and envisaged solutions are also discussed.
