Evolution of GOUNDRY, a cryptic subgroup of Anopheles gambiae s.l., and its impact on susceptibility to Plasmodium infection
A. GNEMEThe recent discovery of a previously unknown genetic subgroup of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato underscores our incomplete understanding of complexities of vector population demographics in Anopheles. This subgroup, named GOUNDRY, does not rest indoors as adults and is highly susceptible to...

Biological activities of four essential oils against Anopheles gambiae in Burkina Faso and their in vitro inhibition of acetylcholinesterase
A. BADOLOThe control of malaria is still a challenge partly due to mosquito's resistance to current available insecticides. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ovicidal, larvicidal and repellent activities of Lantana camara, Hyptis suaveolens, Hyptis spicigera and Ocimum canum essential oils against...

Three years of insecticide resistance monitoring in Anopheles gambiae in Burkina Faso: resistance on the rise?
A. BADOLOA longitudinal Anopheles gambiae sl insecticide-resistance monitoring programme was established in four sentinel sites in Burkina Faso. For three years, between 2008 and 2010, WHO diagnostic dose assays were used to measure the prevalence of resistance to all the major classes of insecticides at...

Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in areas of seasonal malaria transmission in Burkina Faso: knock-down resistance gene distribution
A. BADOLOResistance to insecticide is the main concern for vectors control based on insecticides. We conducted a two-year monitoring on the resistance to insecticides of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus in five localities of Burkina Faso. The susceptibility to insecticides was performed using WHO...
