The effect of a mass distribution of insecticide-treated nets on insecticide resistance and entomological inoculation rates of . in Bandundu City, Democratic Repub`lic of Congo.

Introduction: insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) remain the mainstay of malaria vector control in the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, insecticide resistance of malaria vectors threatens their effectiveness. Entomological inoculation rates and insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles gambiae s.

Insecticide susceptibility of and identification of some resistance mechanisms in Kwilu Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Introduction: the control of the mosquito malaria vectors by the National Malaria Control Programme of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) relies mainly on the use of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). However, the widespread emergence of resistance to pyrethroids is jeopardizing this control strategy. The objective of this study is to determine the status and resistance mechanisms involved in Anopheles gambiae s.
