Insecticide resistance characteristic of <i>Anopheles</i> vector species successfully controlled by deployment of pyrethroid and PBO long lasting insecticidal treated nets in Tanzania

2021-03-19

Abstract excerpt

Long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a proven tool to reduce malaria transmission, but in Africa efficacy is being reduced by pyrethroid resistance in the major vectors. A cluster randomized trial in Muleba district, Tanzania demonstrated that permethrin LLINs co-treated with piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a synergist that can block pyrethroid-metabolizing enzymes in the mosquito, had much greater efficacy than p...
