INVESTIGATION: Identification and detection of mutations involved in transcriptional regulation of genes mediating insecticide resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus.

This study revealed that, Cis-regulatory polymorphisms are driving the overexpression of CYP6P9a and CYP6P9b insecticide resistance genes. Evidence shows that, a major fraction of the global infectious disease burden is due to vector-borne diseases. Malaria being one of such diseases, is the number one killer and, is caused by a protozoan of the Plasmodium genus..…

Infrastructures : entrée en fonction de la station expérimentale d’Elende

Construite par et pour le Centre de Recherche sur les Maladies Infectieuses (CRID), ladite station est constituée de 12 cases. Celles-ci sont en service depuis le mois d’août 2021. Il le fallait bien. Au regard de la résistance accrue des vecteurs du paludisme aux pyrethrinoides ou insecticides utilisés pour imprégner les moustiquaires, le besoin de mettre…
