Description
Dunia Munyakanage and seven co-authors survey insecticide resistance in malaria mosquitoes across Rwanda, in a study from 2025. Bed nets and spraying rest on pyrethroid drugs, so resistance tracking guides control choices. The team tested mosquitoes from many districts that span the main spread zones.
Larvae collected from 2022 to 2023 were raised and exposed to three pyrethroids by standard tests. Resistance to one drug was high at several sites, with low death rates. A booster chemical partly restored killing, which points to body chemistry as a main driver. In the capital, the booster failed, hinting at a different mechanism. Gene tests are still needed.
