Abstract excerpt
The large-scale use of insecticides remains a cornerstone of malaria vector control, but its long-term effectiveness is undermined by the evolution of quantitative insecticide resistance (qIR) in mosquito populations. We develop and analyze a mathematical model to identify optimal deployment strategies for two insecticides that differ only in their relative efficacy against target mosquito populations. Resistance...
