Behaviour of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae at the interface of two dual active-ingredient bed nets, assessed by room-scale infrared video tracking

P. J. McCall, K. Gleave, A. Guy, F. Mechan, M. Emery, V. Voloshin, C. E. Towers, D. Towers, H. Ranson, G. M. Foster

This study tracks the behavior of pyrethroid-resistant and susceptible Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes around different bed nets, finding no major behavioral differences between strains despite varying insecticide effects.

The durability of long-lasting insecticidal nets treated with and without piperonyl butoxide (PBO) in Uganda.

F. Mechan, A. Katureebe, V. Tuhaise, M. Mugote, A. Oruni, I. Onyige, K. Bumali, J. Thornton, K. Maxwell, M. Kyohere, M. R. Kamya, P. Mutungi, S. P. Kigozi, A. Yeka, J. Opigo, , A. Lynd

This study compares the durability and bioefficacy of PBO-treated and pyrethroid-only LLINs in Uganda, finding that PBO content declines over time, reducing bioefficacy against resistant mosquitoes.
