Anopheles mosquitoes present a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa;
notably, as vectors of malaria that kill over half a million people annually. In parts of the east …

Mass distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has been a key factor in reducing malaria
cases and deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. A shortcoming has been the over-reliance on …

Background Insecticide resistance among malaria-vector species is a pervasive problem
that might jeopardise global disease-control efforts. Novel vector-control tools with different …

Background Anopheles funestus is a leading vector of malaria in most parts of East and
Southern Africa, yet its ecology and responses to vector control remain poorly understood …

Vector control in the Bijagós Archipelago of Guinea-Bissau currently relies on pyrethroid
insecticide-treated nets. However, data on insecticide resistance in Guinea-Bissau is limited …

Background After decades of success in reducing malaria through the scale-up of pyrethroid
long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), the decline in the malaria burden has stalled …

Resistance to pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides in the malaria vector Anopheles
gambiae (sl) is conferred by a variety of genetic mutations, including single nucleotide …

Indiscriminate use of pesticides in the public health and agriculture sectors has contributed
to the development of resistance in malaria vectors following exposure to sub-lethal …

Assessing the genetic diversity of metabolic resistance genes, such as cytochrome P450s,
helps to understand the dynamics and evolution of resistance in the field. Here, we analyzed …

Background Insecticides are a crucial component of vector control. However, resistance
constitute a threat on their efficacy and the gains obtained over the years through malaria …
