Investigation of prevalence and phylogenetic classification of Microsporidia MB and insecticide target site insensitivity resistance mutations in Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Anopheles funestus mosquitoes from Busia, Kenya.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Microsporidia MB, a Plasmodium-transmission-impairing symbiont in Anopheles arabiensis, has malaria control potential. This study assessed its prevalence and phylogeny in An. gambiae s.l. and An. funestus in Busia, Kenya and investigated the influence of environmental factors on its occurrence. Additionally, the prevalence of key insecticide resistance mutations in these mosquito populations was...
