Differences in seasonal dynamics and pyrethroid resistance development among Anopheles Hyrcanus group species.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Anopheles Hyrcanus group, which transmits Plasmodium vivax, consists of six confirmed species in South Korea. An epidemiological study revealed differences in the seasonal occurrence patterns of each species. Pyrethroid resistance in An. sinensis dates back to the early 2000s, whereas information on pyrethroid resistance in other species is lacking despite their greater significance in malaria epidemiology.

Methods

Anopheles mosquitoes were collected from two malaria-endemic regions in South Korea for 2 years and their knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations were genotyped. The larval susceptibility to λ-cyhalothrin was compared in six Anopheles species and its seasonal changes in three species were investigated. The full-length sequences of the voltage-sensitive
