Researchers from LSTM confirm that in areas with high pyrethroid resistance in mosquitoes, fewer people were infected with malaria parasites when piperonyl butoxide (PBO) + pyrethroid-treated bed nets ...

One of the central pillars of malaria control efforts in Africa is the use of bed nets that contain an insecticide; pyrethroids have become the backbone of mosquito net programs worldwide. However, ...

A new study, jointly led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID) in Cameroon, has detected a DNA marker in a gene encoding for a key enzyme, ...

The mosquito resistance study was conducted in the northwestern section of Colombia, an area that the researchers describe as having “eco-epidemiological conditions that facilitate the persistence of ...

(Beyond Pesticides, August 2, 2023) A study published in Pest Management Science finds resistance to insecticides like pyrethroids are challenging attempts to control the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Ae.

Fighting mosquito-borne diseases often feels like a race against time. Pesticides keep the insects in check, but they often stop working once the bugs evolve to become resistant to the chemicals. Now, ...

A new study has detected a DNA marker in a gene encoding a key enzyme known as cytochrome P450 that helps mosquitoes to break down and survive exposure to pyrethroids, the main insecticides used for ...

Aedes aegypti, a mosquito that carries yellow fever, dengue and the Zika virus, is considered one of the world’s deadliest creatures. Now, it may be becoming a bit more dangerous. In a new study ...

Researchers in Japan say they’ve discovered “super” resistant mosquitoes in Asia. In a study published this week, they detail finding populations of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes—a common disease vector—in ...
