Simulating dynamic insecticide selection pressures for resistance management in mosquitoes assuming polygenic resistance
Fig 4
Impact of insecticide efficacy on field survival at given polygenic resistance scores.
This plot displays the field survival of mosquitoes which encounter an insecticide of a particular efficacy, calculated using Equation 2b(i). The colour of the line corresponds to the polygenic resistance score. Blue = 0, Green = 10, Red = 100, Orange = 900, Purple = 8100; corresponding to 0, 2, 10, 50 and 80% bioassay survivals. The black vertical line indicates the insecticide is at its manufacturers recommended concentration for 100% efficacy, which is 1. The red background indicates the insecticide is above the manufactures recommended dosing/concentration as may occur, for example, with over-spraying when performing indoor residual spraying.
