Snippet: Pyrethroid resistance is now widespread in Anopheles gambiae, the major vector for malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. This resistance may compromise malaria vector control strategies that are currently in use in endemic areas. In this context, a new tool for management of resistant mosquitoes based on the combination of a pyrethroid-treated bed net and carbamate-treated plastic sheeting was developed.
Note the name of the strain of mosquito, yes its "Anopheles gambiae" in this case not something to be proud of
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
