Availability of insecticidal molecules to control Aedes albopictus (Skuse).
Following the implementation of the Directive 98/8/CE a few changes in the availability of insecticidal molecules to control Ae. albopictus have been outlined. Available products for larvicidal treatments will predominantly be based upon two growth regulators (diflubenzuron and pyriproxyfen). For the control of the adult forms there will mostly be active ingredients belonging to the pyrethroid group. Importance of surveillance for the onset of tolerance or resistance phenomena.
