Abstract：Objective To explore the development status,the historical development and hotspots of mosquito resist-ance to insecticides research in China,to provide the direction for further research on mosquito resistance to insecti-cides in China,and to provide references for resistance control and mosquito-borne infectious diseases control.Meth-ods"Mosquitoes"and"insecticide resistance"were used as subject terms for the search of insecticide resistance of mosquito references collected from January 1,2013 to May 1,2023 in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database.A total of 655 references were retrieved and 569 references were included.Authors,journals and institutions in the 569 references were analysed by SATI3.2 and Excel 2019 softwares;meanwhile,knowledge maps on key words in 569 references were draw,burst terms and timelines for the development of mosquito resistance to insecticides in China were analyzed by Citespace5.8.R3 software.Results The research on resistance to mosquitoes in China showed a slow increasing trend from 2013 to 2023,and the increase was rapid from 2013 to 2016.The main publish-ing agencies were the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Institute of Parasitic Diseases Prevention and Control.The research focuses on Aedes albopictus,Culex pallens,deltamethrin.Conclusion In recent years,Anophe-les sinensis,Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens are the major mosquito species concerned about mosquito resist-ance to insecticides research in China,and the main insecticides concerned are pyrethroids.Researchers should focus on the research of resistance and development of other types of insecticides such as biological insecticides,and man-agement of mosquito insecticide resistance,so as to provide a basis for prevention and control strategies and risk as-sessment of mosquitoes and related infectious diseases.
