Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Nepal (BBIN) are endemic in malaria, kala-azar (KA), and Japanese encephalitis (JE). Transmitted through mosquito and sandfly vectors, these diseases have a high prevalence at border areas and are involved in cross-border transmission between these countries. The use of insecticides for vector control of these diseases will continue to play a major role in the programs of disease control. This report presents the status of insecticide resistance related to these vectors.
