Trends in the selection of insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquitoes in northwest Tanzania during a community randomized trial of longlasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying. [PDF]

, 2014
Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) in Muleba, Tanzania has developed high levels of resistance to most insecticides currently advocated for malaria control. The kdr mutation has almost reached fixation in An. gambiae s.s. in Muleba.

Escalation of Pyrethroid Resistance in the Malaria Vector Anopheles funestus Induces a Loss of Efficacy of Piperonyl Butoxide–Based Insecticide-Treated Nets in Mozambique

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Insecticide resistance poses a serious threat to insecticide-based interventions in Africa. There is a fear that resistance escalation could jeopardize malaria control efforts. Monitoring of cases of aggravation of resistance intensity and its

Economic Impact of Dengue Virus in Mexico Over One Decade: A Systematic Literature Review (2010–2020)

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dengue is a major mosquito‐borne viral disease worldwide, imposing significant healthcare burden on governments in countries where it is endemic, such as Mexico. This systematic review focused on studies reporting the cost of dengue in Mexico during 2010–2020.

Cis-regulatory CYP6P9b P450 variants associated with loss of insecticide-treated bed net efficacy against Anopheles funestus

Nature Communications, 2019
Elucidating the genetic basis of metabolic resistance to insecticides in malaria vectors is crucial to prolonging the effectiveness of insecticide-based control tools including long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs).

Averting a malaria disaster: will insecticide resistance derail malaria control?

The Lancet, 2016
World Malaria Day 2015 highlighted the progress made in the development of new methods of prevention (vaccines and insecticides) and treatment (single dose drugs) of the disease. However, increasing drug and insecticide resistance threatens the successes

Health System Resilience and Afghan Refugee Health in Pakistan: An Exploratory Study of Challenges and Pathways to Inclusion

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pakistan has hosted Afghan refugees for more than four decades, in one of the world's most protracted displacements of people. Afghan refugees receive health services through United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and non‐governmental organisation (NGO) supported programmes alongside public sector facilities at every tier.

Pyrethroid activity-based probes for profiling cytochrome P450 activities associated with insecticide interactions [PDF]

, 2013
Pyrethroid insecticides are used to control diseases spread by arthropods. We have developed a suite of pyrethroid mimetic activity-based probes (PyABPs) to selectively label and identify P450s associated with pyrethroid metabolism.

Functional genetic validation of key genes conferring insecticide resistance in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes can derail malaria control programs, and to overcome it, we need to discover the underlying molecular basis.
