Background: Endemic African malaria vectors are poorly adapted to typical urban ecologies. However, Anopheles stephensi, an urban malaria vector formerly confined to South Asia and the Persian Gulf, was recently detected in Africa and may change the epidemiology of malaria across the continent. Little is known about the public health implications of An.

- Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are key strategies in Sudan's malaria control, but resistance to insecticides poses a significant challenge.
- A study from 2011 to 2014 showed Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes mostly resistant to deltamethrin and DDT, with mortality rates dropping significantly over the years, while still susceptible to bendiocarb.
- The combination of LLINs and IRS helped slow the development of deltamethrin resistance, suggesting that using different insecticide classes might be a viable strategy for malaria control.
