Insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.l. threatens malaria vector control strategies in sub-Saharan Africa. Organophosphates such as pirimiphos-methyl have been deployed in Benin through Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) since 2013 as alternatives to pyrethroids. However, no published evidence had documented resistance to this compound. This study provides the first confirmation of reduced susceptibility to...
