Comparative susceptibility of wild and laboratory-reared Aedes and Anopheles larvae to ivermectin

Overall, these data showed how development parameters of laboratory-raised and wild-derived Anopheles and Aedes larvae are affected differently by ivermectin, highlighting potential implications for vector control strategies and ecological concerns regarding non-target organisms and environment persistence. Further investigations are planned to understand existing mechanisms allowing wild-derived larvae to better survive than laboratory ones despite the presence of ivermectin in their breeding environment.
