An Experimental Hut Evaluation of PBO-Based and Pyrethroid-Only Nets against the Malaria Vector <i>Anopheles funestus</i> Reveals a Loss of Bed Nets Efficacy Associated with <i>GSTe2</i> Metabolic Resistance

An Experimental Hut Evaluation of PBO-Based and Pyrethroid-Only Nets against the Malaria Vector <i>Anopheles funestus</i> Reveals a Loss of Bed Nets Efficacy Associated with <i>GSTe2</i> Metabolic Resistance

Growing insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is threatening the effectiveness of insecticide-based interventions, including Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). However, the impact of metabolic resistance on the effectiveness of these tools remains poorly characterized. Using experimental hu...
