PUBLICATION: Detection of a reduced susceptibility to chlorfenapyr in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae contrasts with full susceptibility in Anopheles funestus across Africa By Magellan Tchouakui & al
Recent reductions in malaria transmission in Africa are predominantly due to massive use of bednets impregnated with an insecticide chemical called ‘’pyrethroid’’. unfortunately, resistance to this product is threatening the efficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). To mitigate this risk, novel insecticides such as chlorfenapyr are recommended by WHO to kill these malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. In…
