Dynamics of insecticide resistance and the frequency of kdr mutation in the primary malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in rural villages of Lower Moshi, North Eastern Tanzania
The major foci of pyrethroid resistance in 1990 to 2010 were in West and Central African populations of Anopheles gambiae s.s. Pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles arabiensis has been reported in several countries of East and Central Africa. Four cross-sectional surveys of A. arabiensis in Lower Moshi were conducted in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 to determine levels of resistance to pyrethroids, organochlorines,...

Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bottle bioassay: A real complementary method to World Health Organization (WHO) susceptibility test for the determination of insecticide susceptibility in malaria vectors
In order to investigate the complementarities between both World Health Organization (WHO) and Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) methods and the specificities of each method useful for the determination of the insecticide susceptibility in malaria vectors, larvae and pupae of Anopheles gambiae s.l. mosquitoes were collected from the breeding sites in Littoral department. WHO susceptibility tests were...
