Abstract: Dengue is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, and represents one of the important public health problems in China. Aedes albopictus as the important vector of dengue fever widely occur in China. Currently, control of the density of Aedes albopictus primarily relies on use of insecticides, however, long-term spraying insecticide may result in drug resistance of Aedes albopictus. This paper reviewed the research progress of Aedes albopictus resistant to the insecticides, including pyrethroids, carbamates and organophosphorus, in recent years, with attempt to provide reference for rational use and formulation of effective strategies and control measures for this vector in China.

Key words: Dengue fever, Aedes albopictus, Vector, Insecticide, Insecticide resistance, Research progress
