Some mosquitoes already have resistance to the latest weapon against malaria

They recently sampled #mosquitoes from rural and urban areas around #Yaoundé, the capital, including two key #malaria carriers. In one standard susceptibility assay, exposure to #clothianidin for 1 hour killed 100% of #AnophelesColuzzii. But in some A. gambiae samples as many as 55% of the mosquitoes survived, the group reported in a preprint posted 7 August on the bioRxiv preprint server.
