Correction: Distribution and Frequency of kdr Mutations within Anopheles gambiae s.l. Populations and First Report of the Ace.1G119S Mutation in Anopheles arabiensis from Burkina Faso (West Africa). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
An entomological survey was carried out at 15 sites dispersed throughout the three eco-climatic regions of Burkina Faso (West Africa) in order to assess the current distribution and frequency of mutations that confer resistance to insecticides in An ...

Evidence for both sequential mutations and recombination in the evolution of kdr alleles in Aedes aegypti

open access: yesPLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Aedes aegypti is a globally distributed vector of human diseases including dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika. Pyrethroid insecticides are the primary means of controlling adult A. aegypti populations to suppress arbovirus outbreaks, but resistance to pyrethroid insecticides has become a global problem.

Co-occurrence and distribution of East (L1014S) and West (L1014F) African knock-down resistance in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato population of Tanzania. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Insecticide resistance molecular markers can provide sensitive indicators of resistance development in Anopheles vector populations. Assaying these makers is of paramount importance in the resistance monitoring programme.

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR assay to detect a genetic marker of pyrethroid resistance in Culex mosquitoes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used to control mosquitoes that transmit pathogens such as West Nile virus (WNV) to people. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the knockdown resistance locus (kdr) of the voltage gated sodium channel (Vgsc) gene ...

Insecticide Resistance Associated withkdrMutations inAedes albopictus: An Update on Worldwide Evidences [PDF]

open access: yesBioMed Research International, 2018
Insecticide resistance is an increasing problem worldwide that limits the efficacy of control methods against several pests of health interest. Among them,Aedes albopictusmosquitoes are efficient vectors of relevant pathogens causing animal and human diseases worldwide, including yellow fever, chikungunya, dengue, and Zika.

Combining organophosphate treated wall linings and long-lasting insecticidal nets for improved control of pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: New approaches to delivering insecticides need to be developed to improve malaria vector control. Insecticidal durable wall lining (DL) and net wall hangings (NWH) are novel alternatives to indoor residual spraying which can be produced in a ...

Differential resistance of insect sodium channels with kdr mutations to deltamethrin, permethrin and DDT

open access: yesInsect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2011
Knockdown resistance (kdr) in insects, caused by inherited nucleotide polymorphisms in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene, is a major threat to the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticides. Classic kdr, resulting from an L1014F substitution in the VGSC is now present in numerous pest species.

Low prevalence of Plasmodium and absence of malaria transmission in Conakry, Guinea : prospects for elimination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Over the past 15 years, mortality and morbidity due to malaria have been reduced substantially in sub-Saharan Africa and local elimination has been achieved in some settings.

Field efficacy of pyrethroid treated plastic sheeting (durable lining) in combination with long lasting insecticidal nets against malaria vectors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Insecticide treated plastic sheeting (ITPS), sometimes known as durable lining, has potential as a long-lasting insecticidal surface for malaria vector control when used as lining for interior walls and ceilings inside the home.

Knockdown resistance in Anopheles vagus, An. sinensis, An. paraliae and An. peditaeniatus populations of the Mekong region

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2010
Background In the Mekong region (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos), a large investigation was conducted to assess the susceptibility of Anopheles species against DDT and pyrethroids.
