Summary/ Review Slides 2008/09 • Team Goals: • To develop a single point of contact for researchers to gain information on how to conduct insecticide resistance bioassays. • To provide IRAC approved methods in order to steer researchers to use these validated methods, so that data generated by independent researchers can be compared directly. • What are we doing to meet these goals: • Development of a searchable database for finding both IRAC approved methods and those which are used by researchers but have not been approved by IRAC. • Increasing diversity and rate of validation of IRAC approved methods, including public health pests, biotechnology methods, biochemical methods and molecular techniques.
