Control of pyrethroid‐resistant <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> mosquitoes with chlorfenapyr in Benin

Abstract

Chlorfenapyr has the potential to control pyrethroid resistant populations of A. gambiae. There is a need to develop long-lasting formulations of chlorfenapyr to prolong its residual life on nets and sprayed surfaces. On nets it could be combined with a contact irritant pyrethroid to give improved protection against mosquito biting while killing pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes that come into contact with the net.
