The importance of modelling the spread of insecticide resistance in a heterogeneous environment: the example of adding synergists to bed nets
2 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insecticides are an effective and practical tool for reducing malaria transmission but the development of resistance to the insecticides can potentially compromise controls efforts. In this study a mathematical model was developed to explore the effects on mosquito populations of spatial heterogeneous deployment of insecticides. This model was used to identify important parameters in the evolution of...
