Background: There are several indications that pesticides used in agriculture contribute to the emergence and spread of resistance of mosquitoes to vector control insecticides. However, the impact of such an indirect selection pressure has rarely been quantified and the molecular mechanisms involved are still poorly characterized. In this context, experimental selection with different agrochemical mixtures was conducted in Anopheles gambiae.

The indiscriminate use of insecticides in agriculture and public health lead to a selection of resistance mechanisms in malaria vectors compromising vector control tools and strategies. This study investigated the metabolic response in the -L995F Tiassalé resistance strain after long-term exposure of larvae and adults to deltamethrin insecticide. -L995F Tiassalé strain larvae were exposed over 20 generations to deltamethrin (LS) and adults to PermaNet 2.
