Until recently, the resistance of mosquitoes to pyrethroids has not been taken as a serious issue. In Japan, C. p. pallens and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) are the main species living around houses. Although mosquito coils have utilized natural pyrethrins as insecticidal ingredients for about 50 years and then allethrin for about 50 years, there has been no report on resistance development. The reason for this is considered to be the short active time of 4-5 months per year for C. p. pallens. Yasutomi et al. [50] reported in 1989 the presence of pyrethroid-resistant Culex tritaeniorhynchus in Okinawa, but Japanese encephalitis transmitted by C. tritaeniorhynchus decreased markedly after 1992 and disappeared. 

Flavivirus is a genus of the family Flaviviridae composed of nearly 70 arthropod-borne viruses that cause important human diseases, such as yellow fever virus (YFV), DENV, West Nile virus (WNV), and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). They cause a variety of diseases including fever, encephalitis, and hemorrhagic fever. In particular, DENV has reemerged in recent years as an increasingly important public health threat affecting more than 100 countries worldwide, with nearly 50 million infections each year and over 2.5 billion people at risk [81].

Potential waterborne diseases that follow tsunamis include cholera diarrheal or fecal-oral diseases, such as amebiasis, cryptosporidiosis, cyclosporiasis, giardiasis, hepatitis A and E, leptospirosis, parasitic infections, rotavirus, shigellosis, and typhoid fever animal- or mosquito-borne illness, such as plague, rabies, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue fever (and the potentially fatal complication dengue hemorrhagic shock syndrome) and wound-associated infections and diseases, such as tetanus. Mental health concerns are another consequence of tsunami events.
