Impact of pyriproxyfen on the reproduction of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.l. populations in benin: what implications for vector control?
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe efficacy of LLINs is compromised by the emergence of pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors. New insecticides that target other sites of action in the mosquito, including pyriproxyfen (PPF), are needed to maintain this efficacy.
methodsVarious populations of An. gambiae s.l. collected from April to November 2022 in 4 Beninese communes and the susceptible strain (Kisumu) were used to assess their susceptibility to PPF via CDC bottle tests and to assess the bioefficacy of Royal guard® (RG) alpha-cypermethrin + pyriproxyfen-impregnated nets via WHO cone tests. Molecular analyses were carried out to observe the frequency of resistance genes, and the oviposition and oviposition inhibition rates of these different populations to PPF were calculated. Ovaries of An. gambiae s.l. from Bohicon and Lokossa exposed to RG were dissected, and egg development was examined via Christopher stages to determine the fertility status of the mosquitoes.
resultsAcross all analyzed An. gambiae s.l. populations, the mean kdr allele frequency was approximately 85.08%. The rate of oviposition inhibition by PPF was approximately 98% for the wild populations of Djougou and Malanville and for the susceptible strain of An. gambiae Kisumu. In the cone test, RG showed optimal efficacy with the susceptible Kisumu strain. However, the mortality rate of wild populations with RG ranged from 12.5% [95% CI: 5.18–24.07] to 32.08% [95% CI: 19.92–46.32], whereas it varied between 0% [95% CI: 0–7] and 4% [95% CI: 4.9–14] with Interceptor®. All An. gambiae s.l. populations in Bohicon and Lokossa exposed to the RG net were infertile (100% [95% CI: 95.07–100]), whereas with Interceptor® and the untreated net, the majority had fully developed their eggs up to Christopher stage V.
conclusionUnder laboratory conditions, PPF had a considerable effect on mosquito reproduction, rendering all An. gambiae s.l. populations exposed to the insecticide and the RG net infertile.
