Investigating discriminating concentrations for monitoring susceptibility to broflanilide and cross resistance to other insecticide classes in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato, using the new WHO bottle bioassay method.
Abstract
Broflanilide is a new insecticide being developed for malaria vector control. As new insecticide chemistries become available, strategies to preserve the susceptibility of local malaria vectors and extend their useful life need to be considered before large scale deployment. This requires the development of appropriate testing procedures and identification of suitable discriminating concentrations for monitoring susceptibility in wild vector populations to facilitate decision making by control programmes.
