Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on evaluating insecticide susceptibility of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes in Saravan County, Iran, where resistance to insecticides has been previously noted.
- Field samples were tested against three insecticides (DDT, permethrin, and deltamethrin), revealing potential resistance to pyrethroids and DDT among the population.
- Additionally, the research identified the presence of the kdr L1014F mutation for the first time in Iran, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring of insecticide resistance and genetic mutations in these mosquitoes.
