Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Anopheles gambiae s.l. is the major malaria vector in sub-Saharan Africa, and increasing pyrethroid resistance threatens vector control. This study investigated the prevalence of knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations and pyrethroid susceptibility in An. gambiae s.l. populations from Kwara State, North-Central Nigeria. RESULTS: A total of 250 An. gambiae s.l. mosquitoes were collected from three Local...
