Investigating patterns of Pyrethroids and DDT resistance in Anopheles funestus populations in Benin: study of the distribution, resistance mechanisms and investigation on novel resistance management strategies. (360G-Wellcome-099864_Z_12_Z)
Malaria remains a major public health burden in Africa Malaria control relies heavily on insecticides-based vector control strategies. Unfortunately, the emergence of resistance to main insecticides is threatening the success of these strategies. In Benin, and its neighbouring west African countries, resistance to pyrethroids and DDT was mainly reported in An. gambiae while An. funestus, the other major malaria vector, was always considered to be susceptible and of less interest and attention to NMCP. However, our recent studies conducted in the southern Benin revealed the presence of pyrethroids and DDT resistance in populations of An. funestus. This recent discovery is prompting set of unanswered questions on
