Co-occurrence of multiple kdr mutations (F1534C, V1016I, V410L) in Aedes aegypti from coastal areas in Ghana and assessment of the role of mosquito coil in causing pyrethroid resistance.

Abstract excerpt

The rapid spread of knockdown-resistance (kdr) mutations in Africa calls for monitoring and investigation into the cause of pyrethroid resistance to inform management strategies. This study investigated the pyrethroid resistance profile of Aedes aegypti from coastal towns in Ghana and the impact of mosquito coil, a popular household pyrethroid-based anti-mosquito tool, on the development of pyrethroid resistance....
