Innocent Djègbè, Olayidé Boussari, Aboubakar Sidick, Thibaud Martin, Hilary Ranson, Fabrice Chandre, Martin Akogbéto, Vincent Corbel Malaria Journal 2011, 10:261 (12 September 2011) Pyrethroid and DDT resistance is widespread in malaria vector in Benin and both metabolic and target site resistance are implicated. Resistance was not correlated with a change of malaria species and/or molecular forms. The L1014S kdr allele was first identified in wild population of An. gambiae s.s and An. arabiensis hence confirming the expansion of pyrethroid resistance alleles in Africa.

Federica Santolamazza, Beniamino Caputo, Maria Calzetta, José L Vicente, Emiliano Mancini, Vincenzo Petrarca, João Pinto, Alessandra della Torre Malaria Journal 2011, 10:215 (2 August 2011) The results reveal that the PCR and PCR-RFLP approaches most commonly utilized to identify A. gambiae M and S forms are not fully interchangeable, as usually assumed. There are operational suggestions on the choice of the most convenient method for large-scale M- and S-form identification.
