Abstract

German cockroach is one of the most important pests in public dwellings and health facilities. This insect can transmit many pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and parasite eggs to humans through mechanical methods or their digestive tract. Using chemical insecticides is the most popular way to control these pests. Naturally one of the serious problems for controlling German cockroach is increase of resistance to insecticides due to long-term insecticide spraying and extreme utilization. Increasing resistance of German cockroach to different classes of insecticides including organochlorine, organophosphate, carbamate, and pyrethroid has been reported. The aim of this article was to assemble and review studies conducted on resistance of German cockroaches to insecticides to evaluate the current knowledge and gaps and provides an insight into the pest management.
