Pyrethroid resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Nouakchott Mauritania

摘要

BackgroundMauritania is one of the African countries with ongoing malaria transmission where data on insecticide resistance of local malaria vectors are limited despite an increasing use of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) as the main intervention for vector control. This study presents an evaluation of the level of insecticide resistance of Anopheles arabiensis in Nouakchott.
