Four-year monitoring of the malaria vector Anopheles funestus in central-west Cameroon reveals an escalation of pyrethroid resistance combined with high malaria transmission
Key Points
Malaria transmission rates increased amid rising pyrethroid resistance over four years.
Resistance levels reached up to 50%, suggesting a significant impact on mosquito control efforts.
Analysis of vector populations highlights the urgent need for new strategies against resistant strains.
Findings call for reevaluation of current insecticide use and vector control measures to prevent further transmission.
