Time of exposure and assessment influence the mortality induced by insecticides against metabolic resistant mosquitoes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increasing metabolic resistance in malaria vector mosquitoes resulted in the development of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) with active ingredients (AI) that target them. Bioassays that accurately
