Louisa Messenger (Environmental and Occupational Health), Chad Cross (Epidemiology and Biostatistics), and colleagues published a paper on "Effects of next-generation, dual-active-ingredient, long-lasting insecticidal net deployment on insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in Tanzania: an analysis of a 3-year, cluster-randomised controlled trial" in The Lancet Planetary Health.
This paper discusses one of the malaria clinical trials in Tanzania, showing an escalation in insecticide resistance among mosquitoes exposed to some of the chemicals found in the most widely used bed nets. Researchers aimed to measure phenotypic and genotypic insecticide-resistance profiles among wild Anopheles collected over 3 years to assess the longitudinal effects of dual-active-ingredient long-lasting insecticidal nets on insecticide resistance.
