Species composition and insecticide resistance status of Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) (Culicidae) in Kome southern Chad and the implications for malaria control

摘要

BackgroundThe development and spread of insecticide resistance among malaria vectors, is a threat to the continued effectiveness of interventions to control and eliminate the disease. The status of insecticide resistance among malaria vector populations at two sites in Kome, southern Chad, was evaluated to inform decisions on vector control.
