Abstract excerpt
Resistance to the insecticide DDT in the mosquito vectors of malaria has severely hampered efforts to control this disease and has contributed to the increase in prevalence of malaria cases seen in recent years. Over 90% of the 300-500 million annual cases of malaria occur in Africa, where the major vector is Anopheles gambiae. DDT resistance in the ZAN/U strain of An. gambiae is associated with an increased...
