Genetic structure of Anopheles gambiae s.s populations following the use of insecticides on several consecutive years in southern Benin
Abstract Background Several studies have reported the strong resistance of Anopheles gambiae s.l. complex species to pyrethroids. The voltage-dependent sodium channel (Vgsc) gene is the main target of pyrethroids and DDT. In Benin, the frequency of the resistant allele (L1014F) of this gene varies a...
