Multiple-insecticide resistance in anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, southern côte d'ivoire

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 18, No. 9, Year 2012

control depends on mosquito susceptibility to insecticides. We tested Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes from Côte d'Ivoire for resistance and screened a subset for target site mutations. Mosquitoes were resistant to insecticides of all approved classes. Such complete resistance, which includes exceptionally strong phenotypes, presents a major threat to malaria control.
