Dynamics of insecticide resistance and effect of synergists piperonyl butoxide (PBO), S.S.S-tributylphosphorotrithioate (DEF) and ethacrynic acid (ETAA or EA) on permethrin, deltamethrin and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) resistance in two Anopheles gambiae s. l. populations from Southern Benin, West Africa

Permanet 2.0 distribution was made free in October, 2008 and May, 2009 in Oueme Department. OlysetNet distribution was also made free in July, 2011 throughout the entire country by Beninese National Malaria Control Programme to increase coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). We investigated the dynamics of insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae from southern Benin and the metabolic resistance...

Evaluation of larvicidal activity of the different extracts against important species of mosquito: Anopheles stephensi

The aim of this work was to compare larvicidal activity of insecticidal plants against malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi. The larvicidal activity of Lantana camara Linn. and Bauhinia racemosa Lam., extracted in petroleum ether, chloroform and ethyl acetate were tested against mosquito larvae of A. stephensi. Late third or early fourth instar larvae were used for the screening. These extracts were used for...
