Abstract excerpt
The evolution of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes is shaped by direct insecticide exposure and environmental conditions encountered during development. This study used an experimental evolution approach to investigate how larval habitats select for insecticide resistance profiles in An. gambiae s.l. over 10 successive generations. Mosquito larvae were collected from a single site in Accra, Ghana, and reared...
