Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Urbanisation and increasing insecticide resistance threaten malaria vector control in Nigeria. This study assessed mosquito species composition, insecticide susceptibility and molecular resistance mechanisms in Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations in Ado-Odo Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. METHODS: Mosquitoes were collected from January to June 2024 using CDC light traps and larval sampling. Specimens were...
