Susceptibility status of <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) from cabbage growing areas associated with pyrethroid and organophosphate use in Accra, Ghana

Abstract: Resistance in malaria vectors is likely to be caused by the massive use of insecticides in agriculture. Anopheles gambiae s.l. collected from breeding grounds in two cabbage growing areas within Accra were assessed for levels of resistance to 0.75% permethrin, 0.05% deltamethrin, 5% malathion and 4% DDT using standard WHO susceptibility test kits. Pyrethroid and organophosphate residue levels in soil and runoff water from these cabbage farms were determined and possible association between resistance and resid… Show more

“…gambiae s.l. to insecticides have been conducted in Ghana (Adasi, et al, 2000;Adeniran, 2002;Otieno, 2004;Yawson et al, 2004;Achonduh, 2005;Kahindi, 2005), it is still important to continue monitoring changing trends of resistance. The information provides a basis for ascertaining continued susceptibility to and efficacy of pyrethroids, and for vector insecticide resistance management.…”

“…which reported a higher knockdown and mortality rate of mosquito susceptibility test upon combinations of different concentration and different active ingredients of herbal mosquito coils. The study also agrees with other studies in the Greater Accra region which reported resistance to pyrethroid based vector control methods (Adeniran, 2002;Achonduh et al, 2008;Boakye et al, 2009). The reasons why An.…”
