  • Phenotypic resistance was determined using standard susceptibility tests. (lshtm.ac.uk)
  • Emerging parasite resistance to antimalarial medicines and mosquito resistance to insecticides could, if left unaddressed, render some of the current tools ineffective and trigger a rise in global malaria mortality. (who.int)
  • Mortality rate with DDT slightly increased (from 10 to 30%, n = 45) after PBO pre-exposure indicating that cytochrome P450s play little role in DDT resistance while high mortalities were recorded after PBO pre-exposure with permethrin (from 68 to 100%, n = 70) and dieldrin (from 8 to 100%, n = 48) suggesting the implication of P450s in the observed permethrin and dieldrin resistance.

  • Anopheles gambiae ( s.l. ) was resistant to pyrethroids, with a mortality range of 25-83% with deltamethrin and 6-55% with permethrin. (biomedcentral.com)
  • s.l. ) were susceptible in Kandi (99% mortality), with possible resistance (92-95%) recorded in Djougou, Copargo, Gogounou, Ouake and Segbana. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Her rigorous scientific approach to resistance analysis has contributed to a greater understanding of resistance, its impact and spread and has minimised its effect in increasing human mortality and morbidity. (wikipedia.org)
