PUBLICATION: Susceptibility profile of Anopheles and target site resistance mechanism against organophosphates in Cameroon, by Dr Judith Dandi & al.
Mosquitoes are becoming increasingly resistant to insecticides. As older insecticides such as pyrethroids become less effective, a different class of insecticides—organophosphates like pirimiphos-methyl (PM)—has been proposed as a possible alternative. This study investigated how mosquitoes in six regions of Cameroon respond to two organophosphates: PM and malathion. It focused on three major mosquito species: Anopheles…
