Mosquito control remains a central pillar of efforts to reduce malaria burden in sub-Saharan
Africa. However, insecticide resistance is entrenched in malaria vector populations, and …

Insecticide resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sl. (Diptera: Culicidae)
threatens insecticide‐based control efforts, necessitating regular monitoring. We assessed …

Functionally constrained genes are ideal insecticide targets because disruption is often fatal,
and resistance mutations are typically costly. Synaptic acetylcholinesterase ( AC hE) is an …

Metabolic resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is widespread in Anopheles mosquitoes and
is a major threat to malaria control. DNA markers would aid predictive monitoring of …

Scale-up of the main vector control interventions, residual insecticides sprayed on walls or
structures and/or impregnated in bed nets, together with prompt diagnosis and effective …

Background To combat malaria transmission, the Ugandan government has embarked
upon an ambitious programme of indoor residual spraying (IRS) with a carbamate class …

Background In areas where the morphologically indistinguishable malaria mosquitoes
Anopheles gambiae Giles and An. arabiensis Patton are sympatric, hybrids are detected …

Simple Summary New types of bed nets are being developed which contain a pyrethroid
plus a second chemical because of the development and increased frequency of mosquito …

The Program for Resistance, Immunology, Surveillance, and Modeling of Malaria (PRISM)
has been conducting malaria research in Uganda since 2010 to improve the understanding of …

Malaria control relies on insecticides targeting the mosquito vector, but this is increasingly
compromised by insecticide resistance, which can be achieved by elevated expression of …
