High insecticide resistances levels in Anopheles gambiaes s.l. in northern Uganda and its relevance for future malaria control
Objective The aim of the study was to determine the level of insecticide resistance and diversity in Anopheles mosquitoes in northern Uganda. Standard WHO insecticide susceptibility test assays were used to test for susceptibility to 0.5% malathion, 0.1% bendiocarb, 0.05% deltamethrin and 0.75% permethrin on 3–5 day old generation one progeny. We also screened for species diversity and knockdown resistance using PCR assay. Results Anopheles gambiae s.s. is the predominant malaria vector in...
