  The increasing insecticide resistant population of A. gambiae S.l. mosquitoes in Nigeria and most of West Africa and other parts of the sub-Saharan regions of Africa is becoming worrisome and currently, it’s becoming a threat to the tools widely used for vector control. Though, resistance developed faster in most areas where pyrethroids previously, has been tried alone than those places tried with other earlier applications such as Organophosphates, Organochlorine and the Carbamates group inclusive. The higher coverage of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) is suggestive of effective susceptibility in vector species of Anopheles tried in Nasarawa state, Nigeria using Inesfly Carbapaint 10 (Propoxur 1.0 w/w) insecticidal paint. The wall cone bio-assay used, a primer was employed to prime a cemented plaster surface and wooden board under laboratory condition wit.. Read More»
