| choice of resting sites by anopheles gambiae (diptera: culici) in mwea rice irrigation scheme, kirinyaga district, kenya. | investigations on anopheles gambiae were carried out in mwea rice irrigation scheme, kenya, to determine their preference for resting on various colours of fabrics and bare walls inside rural houses. the inside wall surface of each house was divided into upper, middle and lower sections and the section further partitioned into subsections measuring 0.6 x 0.3m. two sets of experiments were conducted: one in which the walls were partly fitted with one colour of fabric at a time (double-choice situ ... | 1995 | 7796769 |
| monooxygenase levels and knockdown resistance (kdr) allele frequencies in anopheles gambiae and anopheles arabiensis in kenya. | pyrethroid-treated bed-nets and indoor spray are important components of malaria control strategies in kenya. information on resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in anopheles gambiae and an. arabiensis populations is essential to the selection of appropriate insecticides and the management of insecticide resistance. monooxygenase activity and knockdown resistance (kdr) allele frequency are biochemical and molecular indicators of mosquito resistance to pyrethroids. this study determined baseline ... | 2008 | 18402140 |
