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 …

Constant and extensive use of chemical insecticides has created a selection pressure and
favored resistance development in many insect species worldwide. One of the most …

Background Increasing incidence of DDT and pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles
mosquitoes is seen as a limiting factor for malaria vector control. The current study aimed at …

Background Understanding the contribution of community-level long-lasting, insecticidal net
(LLIN) coverage to malaria control is critical to planning and assessing intervention …

Accounting for approximately 11% of all malaria cases, the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC) is central to malaria elimination efforts. To support vector control interventions …

Background Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel at codon 1014 confer knock-
down resistance (kdr) to pyrethroids in a wide range of insects. Anopheles gambiae exhibits …

Assessing patterns and evolution of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is a
prerequisite to design suitable control strategies. Here, we characterised resistance profile …

Abstract Background The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is characterized as a
holoendemic malaria area with the main vectors being Anopheles funestus and members of …

Background Mosquitoes are the dominant vectors of pathogens that cause infectious
diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever and filariasis. Current vector control …

Background Due to the lack of vaccines, malaria control mainly involves the control of
anopheline vectors (Anopheles spp.) using chemical insecticides. However, the prolonged …
