Conclusion This is the first report of Vgsc-1014F in Kenya. Based on our samples, the
mutation is present in low frequencies in both An. gambiae and An. arabiensis. It is important
that we start monitoring relative frequencies of the two kdr genes so that we can determine
their relative importance in an area of high insecticide treated net ownership.
