Resistance to insecticides and herbicides has cost billions of US dollars in the agricultural
sector and could result in millions of lives lost to insect-vectored diseases. We mostly …

Malaria control is reliant on insecticides to control the mosquito vector. As efforts to control
the disease have intensified, so has the selection pressure on mosquitoes to develop …

Achieving a malaria-free world presents exciting scientific challenges as well as
overwhelming health, equity, and economic benefits. WHO and countries are setting …

Long lasting pyrethroid treated bednets are the most important tool for preventing malaria.
Pyrethroid resistant Anopheline mosquitoes are now ubiquitous in Africa, though the public …

Background Pyrethroid insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) help contribute to reducing
malaria deaths in Africa, but their efficacy is threatened by insecticide resistance in some …

Monitoring local mosquito populations for insecticide resistance is critical for effective vector-
borne disease control. However, widely used phenotypic assays, which are designed to …

Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is an important part of malaria control. There is a growing list
of insecticide classes; pyrethroids remain the principal insecticide used in bednets but …

Malaria vector control may be compromised by resistance to insecticides in vector
populations. Actions to mitigate against resistance rely on surveillance using standard …

Background Much of the extensive research regarding transmission of malaria is
underpinned by mathematical modelling. Compartmental models, which focus on …

The effectiveness of vector-control tools is often assessed by experiments as a reduction in
mosquito landings using human landing catches (HLCs). However, HLCs alone only …
