DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2018.03.004
Abstract: The human flea, Pulex irritans, is the most important ectoparasite of humans. Intensive use of pyrethroids for its control has led to insecticide resistance. Monitoring pyrethroid resistance and its underlying mechanisms is essential for flea… read more here.
