Insecticide resistance intensity and efficacy of synergists with pyrethroids in Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) from Southern Togo.

Background: This study was designed to provide insecticide resistance data for decision-making in terms of resistance management plans in Togo.

Methods: The susceptibility status of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.

Diversity and Relative Abundance of Ungulates and Other Medium and Large Mammals in Flooded Forests in the Dahomey Gap (Togo).

"The Dahomey Gap" is a human-derived mostly savannah region that separates the Guineo-Congolian rainforest block into two major units: the Upper Guinean and the Lower Guinean Forest blocks. Several forest patches are distributed throughout this savannah-dominated habitat. The mammal communities in the Dahomey Gap region have been poorly studied.

Resistance intensity status of species at KOLOKOPE, eastern plateau Togo: A potential site to assess new vector control tools.

According to WHO recommendations, the deployment of the next generation of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) for malaria vector control requires appropriate investigations on the insecticide resistance profile of the vector. Most of the next generation of LLINs are impregnated with a combination of pyrethroid insecticides and piperonyl butoxide (PBO), a synergist with an additional impact on the increase in the mortality rate of (Diptera: Culicidae). Kolokopé is a cotton-growing area in the central region of Togo characterized by an intensive use of agricultural pesticides and insecticides where there is a phase II experimental hut station.

Cabbage Production in West Africa and IPM with a Focus on Plant-Based Extracts and a Complementary Worldwide Vision.

In urban and peri-urban areas in West Africa, the cabbage L. (Brassicaceae) is protected using repeated high doses of synthetic insecticides. After a brief description of available IPM components, this paper presents a literature review focused on the botanical extracts that have been experimented with at the laboratory or in the field in West Africa against major cabbage pests.

Potential Roles of Environmental and Socio-Economic Factors in the Distribution of Insecticide Resistance in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (Culicidae: Diptera) Across Togo, West Africa.

Vector control strategies recommended by the World Health Organization are threatened by resistance of Anopheles mosquitoes to insecticides. Information on the distribution of resistant genotypes of malaria vectors is increasingly needed to address the problem. Ten years of published and unpublished data on malaria vector susceptibility/resistance and resistance genes have been collected across Togo.

Insecticide resistance profiles of Anopheles gambiae s.l. in Togo and genetic mechanisms involved, during 3-year survey: is there any need for resistance management?

Background: Malaria, one of the world's greatest public health challenges, is an endemic disease with stable transmission in Togo. Combating malaria requires an effective vector control. This study provides temporal data on insecticide resistance status in the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.

High Levels of Knockdown Resistance in Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae), Major Malaria Vectors in Togo, West Africa: A 2011 Monitoring Report.

A survey of susceptibility to DDT, deltamethrin, bendiocarb, and chlorpyrifos-methyl was conducted in five localities in 2011 in Togo, West Africa, to assess the insecticide resistance status of Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae).

First report of the presence of L1014S Knockdown-resistance mutation in and from Togo, West Africa.

To optimize the success of insecticide-based malaria control intervention, knowledge of the distribution of species and insecticide resistance mechanisms is necessary. This paper reported an updated data on pyrethroids/DDT resistance in the population from Togo.  From December 2013 to April 2015, females of indoor-resting were captured in three locations belonging to three different ecological zones.
