Molecular genotyping of pyrethroid resistant mutations and their haplotypes in bed bug populations from Greece

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: (L925I + I936F), marking its first detection in Europe. These findings highlight the widespread presence of kdr mutations and underscore the urgent need for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, incorporating resistance monitoring, alternative insecticides, and non-chemical control methods to mitigate the growing challenge of pyrethroid resistance in bed bugs.
