Insecticide resistance in the West African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae and investigation of alternative tools for its delay [PDF]

, 2009
There is a current policy to eliminate malaria in the African continent. Pyrethroid-incorporated Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and/or Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) are the chemical weapons being deployed to achieve that goal. Rather worryingly,
