Entomological indicators of malaria transmission and insecticide resistance profile of A. gambiae at the early phase of irrigated rice farming in the forest area of central Cameroon

Mosquitoes were sampled by night collections on human volunteers, identified morphologically and members of different complexes further sorted to species using molecular tools. Plasmodium infectious status was determined by Taqman genotyping. To assess resistance profile to insecticides, WHO bioassays were performed using two-to-five days old females An. gambiae s.l. reared from larval collections in Bankeng. Furthermore, the molecular basis of resistance were investigated (MapVEu VBP0000683)
