A study of insecticide resistant status and detection of G119S and L1014F mutation genes in
Anopheles gambiae sensu lato. in Enugu State was conducted between May, 2019 and
June, 2020. The aim was to investigate the resistance status of An. gambiae sl to four
classes of insecticides used in vector control in the area and to identify the target site
resistant genes present in resistant mosquitoes. Three randomly selected communities;
Awkunanaw (Enugu East), Obukpa (Enugu North) and Awgu (Enugu West senatorial …

Background Control of the mosquito vector Culex pipiens with insecticides is the main way
to control arboviruses that the species can transmit such as West Nile virus (WNV) and Rift
Valley fever virus (RVFV). However, its efficiency has been hampered by the emergence of
insecticide resistance. Little is known about the insecticide-resistance status and underlying
resistance mechanisms of field-collected populations of Cx. pipiens in Morocco. Methods
Mosquito adults from Mohammadia city in Morocco were reared from immature stages. The …
