The use of pyrethroid insecticides in malaria vector control has increased dramatically in the
past decade through the scale up of insecticide treated net distribution programmes and …

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 This is the second in a series of three articles documenting the geographical
distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of human malaria. The first paper …

Because free-insecticide treated net distribution is planned in Benin (West Africa) during the
next few years, we investigated the type, frequency and distribution of insecticide resistance …

Pyrethroids are the most used insecticide class worldwide. They target the voltage gated
sodium channel (NaV), inducing the knockdown effect. In Aedes aegypti, the main dengue …

Background Knockdown resistance (kdr) is a well-characterized mechanism of resistance to
pyrethroid insecticides in many insect species and is caused by point mutations of the …

Objectives To develop rapid monitoring tools to detect the F1534C permethrin‐resistance
mutation in domain IIIS6 of the Aedes aegypti voltage‐gated sodium channel gene and …

Malaria is still a major burden causing the death of nearly 655,000 people each year, mostly
in children under the age of five, and affecting those living in the poorest countries [1] …

Background Knock-down resistance (kdr) to DDT and pyrethroids in the major Afrotropical
vector species, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, is associated with two alternative point …

Malaria control programs are being jeopardized by the spread of insecticide resistance in
mosquito vector populations. The situation in Burkina Faso is emblematic with Anopheles …
