Spinosad consists of spinosyn A and spinosyn D that are produced by the soil-dwelling actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa. It has been used to control a wide variety of arthropod pests of economic importance. Formulations of spinosad have been used to control larval mosquitoes since approximately 2010. However, the target site- and metabolism-based resistance to this neurotoxin has been reported since 2000 in agricultural pests The current studies aim to further evaluate resistance risk and develop resistance prevention tactics in the southern house mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus.
