| dc.description.abstract | Physiological characteristics (age and blood feeding status) of malaria vectors can infuence their
susceptibility to the current vector control tools that target their feeding and resting behaviour. To ensure the sus tainability of the current and future vector control tools an understanding of how physiological characteristics may
contribute to insecticide tolerance in the feld is fundamental for shaping resistance management strategies and
vector control tools. The aim of this study was to determine whether blood meal and mosquito age afect pyrethroid
tolerance in feld-collected Anopheles gambiae from western Kenya. | en_US |
