Pyrethroid resistance in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em>, in Bomi County, Liberia, compromises malaria vector control (Publications)
presence of pyrethroid resistance was associated with a high frequency of the 1014F kdr allele (90.5%) although this mutation alone cannot explain the resistance levels observed. CONCLUSION: High prevalence
