Anopheles gambiae s.s. resistance to pyrethroids and DDT in semi-urban and rural areas of the Moyen-Ogooué Province, Gabon.
Article in Malaria journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPyrethroids are the main insecticides used in vector control for malaria. However, their extensive use in the impregnation of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying has led to the development of resistance, threatening its success as a tool for malaria control. Baseline data prior to large scale distribution of LLINs are important for the implementation of efficient strategies. However, no data on the susceptibility of malaria vectors is available in the Moyen-Ogooué Province in Gabon. The aim of this study was to assess the susceptibility to pyrethroids and organochlorides of malaria vectors from a semi-urban and rural areas of the province and to determine the frequency of insecticide resistance genes.
methodsLarvae were collected from breeding sites in Lambaréné and Zilé and reared to adults. Three to five-day old female Anopheles gambiae sensu lato mosquitoes were used in cone tube assays following the WHO susceptibility tests protocol for adult mosquitoes. A subsample was molecularly identified using the SINE200 protocol and the frequency of Vgsc-1014 F and - 1014 S mutations were determined.
resultsAnopheles gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.) was the sole species present in both Lambaréné and Zilé. Mosquito populations from the two areas were resistant to pyrethroids and organochlorides. Resistance was more pronounced for permethrin and DDT with mortality lower than 7% for both insecticides in the two study areas. Mosquitoes were statistically more resistant (P < 0.0001) to deltamethrin in Lambaréné (51%) compared to Zilé (76%). All the mosquitoes tested were heterozygous or homozygous for the knockdown resistance (Kdr) mutations Vgsc-L1014F and Vgsc-L1014S with a higher proportion of Vgsc-L1014F homozygous in Lambaréné (76.7%) compared to Zilé (57.1%).
conclusionThis study provides evidence of widespread resistance to pyrethroids in An. gambiae s.s., the main malaria vector in the Moyen-Ogooué Province. Further investigation of the mechanisms underlining the resistance of An. gambiae s.s. to pyrethroids is needed to implement appropriate insecticide resistance management strategies.
