Extensive permethrin and DDT resistance in Anopheles arabiensis from eastern and central Sudan Yousif E Himeidan, Muzamil M Abdel Hamid, Christopher M Jones, Hilary Ranson Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:154 (3 August 2011) High level of resistance to permethrin and DDT is reported in the malaria vector An. arabiensis from Sudan. The 1014F kdr allele is present in high frequency and associated with resistance to permethrin in six populations from eastern and central Sudan.

Research
Highly focused anopheline breeding sites and malaria transmission in Dakar Vanessa Machault, Libasse Gadiaga, Cécile Vignolles, Fanny Jarjaval, Samia Bouzid, Cheikh Sokhna, Jean-Pierre Lacaux, Jean-François Trape, Christophe Rogier, Frédéric Pagès Malaria Journal 2009, 8:138 (24 June 2009) According to the authors, it is not relevant to study malaria throughout an entire city because averages hide significant heterogeneity. It becomes necessary to work on a local scale to better assess the transmission of vector-borne diseases in the city that far from disappearing, adapt to new conditions. This point of view is particularly important as the urban population continues to increase.
