The Malaria problem • - Good drugs exist, but pathogens are • increasingly resistant. • Most drugs are too expensive: a typical disease of poverty. • No vaccine available. • Chemotherapy works well for individual • patient but not for area-wide control.
With the exception of the yellow fever, for which an effective vaccine exists, vector-borne diseases have only been controlled through the control of their arthropod vectors (insecticides, physical protection, environmental management). Examples range from Malaria (Anopheline mosquitoes - e.g. Europe, Latin America, etc.), to American trypanosomiasis (Chagas’ disease - kissing bugs), to Onchocerciasis (River blindness - simulid flies), to…
The historic solution: DDT (and other insecticides)
Insecticide Resistance is a heritable change in the sensitivity of a pest population that is reflected in the repeated failure of a product to achieve the expected level of control when used according to the label recommendation for that pest species. Insecticide resistance is a population phenotype, it is the result of natural selection!
Insecticide Resistance: management • (Develop new insecticides with a different mode of action). • Use more than one insecticides with a different mode of action (alternating, combinatorial, chessboard). • Efficient monitoring in combination with above.
MIRO & IRBase • Originally non-BFO, now also integrated into IDOMAL. Stand-alone MIRO is being expanded to cover agricultural pests. • Domains: Insecticides (ChEBI), biological material, resistance mechanisms, methods (future: OBI?), Geo and environment (GAZ & ENVO) • IRBase: has been integrated into the new PopGen section of VectorBase (cross-talk to transmission, population genetics, genome, etc.)
