Sub-lethal insecticide exposure affects host biting efficiency of Kdr-resistant Anopheles gambiae
2021-11-26
Abstract excerpt
The massive use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has drastically changed the environment for malaria vector mosquitoes, challenging their host-seeking behaviour and biting success. Here, we investigated the effect of a brief exposure to an ITN on the biting behaviour of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes and the interaction between such behaviour and the kdr mutation that confers resistance to pyrethroids. To this aim...
