Escalating pyrethroid resistance in two major malaria vectors Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) in Atatam, Southern Ghana

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Aggravation of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is threatening the efforts to control malaria by reducing the efficacy of insecticide-based interventions hence needs to be closely monitored.

Evaluation of growth and yield of new papaya (Carica papaya L.) hybrid lines and their performance against Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus‐causing disease

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Abstract The production of Carica papaya L. in Kenya is seriously affected by the Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus and lack of improved varieties leading to the importation of expensive seeds for the resource‐scarce farmers. To curb these challenges, new papaya hybrid lines were recently selected and bred, but their growth traits and performance ...

Silverleaf whiteflies show no increase in insecticide resistance

California Agriculture, 1996
The silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring) continues to be a difficult pest to control in California's desert valleys. To gain a better understanding of the possible role that insecticide resistance plays in its annual outbreaks, a ...

The genetic architecture of resistance to flubendiamide insecticide in Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner).

PLoS ONE
Insecticide resistance is a major problem in food production, environmental sustainability, and human health. The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera is a globally distributed crop pest affecting over 300 crop species. H.

Regulation of GSTu1-mediated insecticide resistance in Plutella xylostella by miRNA and lncRNA

PLoS Genetics, 2021
The evolution of resistance to insecticides is well known to be closely associated with the overexpression of detoxifying enzymes. Although the role of glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes in insecticide resistance has been widely reported, the ...

A fast-slow model for adaptive resistance evolution [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Resistance to insecticide is considered nowadays one of the major threats to insect control, as its occurrence reduces drastically the efficiency of chemical control campaigns, and may also perturb the application of other control methods, like biological and genetic control.

Optimal Control of a Malaria Model with Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Nets [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
A deterministic multi-stage malaria model with a non-therapeutic control measure, the use of mosquito bednet is formulated and analyzed. The model basic reproduction number is derived, and analytical results show that the models equilibria are locally and globally asymptotically stable when certain threshold conditions are satisfied.
