PUBLICATION: Anopheles funestus populations across Africa Are Broadly Susceptible to Neonicotinoids but with Signals of Possible Cross-Resistance from the GSTe2 Gene By Tatiane ASSATSE & al

Evaluating the susceptibility of malaria vectors to the new WHO-recommended products is a key step before large-scale deployment. In the present study, Tatiane ASSATSE and collaborators mapped the susceptibility profile of one of the major malaria vectors, Anopheles funestus, to neonicotinoids insecticides across Africa and they established the diagnostic doses of acetamiprid and imidacloprid (other neonicotinoids insecticides)…
