Exposure to deltamethrin affects development of Plasmodium falciparum inside wild pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae s.s. mosquitoes in Uganda

An. gambiae s.s. homozygous for kdr-L1014S mutation were collected and fed on blood samples from 42 P. falciparum-infected local patients, then exposed either to nets treated with sub-lethal doses of deltamethrin or to untreated nets. After seven days, 692 mosquitoes were dissected and their midguts examined for oocysts. Prevalence and intensity of infection were recorded for each group. (MapVEu VBP0000161)
