Mosquito control programs have increasingly used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bottle bioassays (BB) to evaluate insecticide resistance (IR). The reported utility, benefits, and limitations of BB and other methods were assessed via electronic survey of U.S. mosquito control professionals to identify potential areas for improvement, future study, and professional training. Opportunities were identified to improve BB operational value and IR detection.
