www.biorxiv.org Exposure to pyrethroid insecticides modulates immunity of Anopheles against Plasmodium falciparum Transmission of malaria parasites relies on the blood-feeding behaviour of female Anopheles mosquitoes and can be prevented by vector control methods. Particularly, the usage of pyrethroid-containing...

Happy to have contributed to this - v.important to understand the impacts of pesticides beyond mortality. We now have an excellent assay for mosquito larvae behaviour & mortality, thanks to Lautaro @JustinMCrocker & @ResearchLifesci - watch this space for more on IR & IS mozzies

Employing a library of >1,000 chemicals, EMBL scientists investigated effects on insect populations.

They found 57% of chemicals – even in amounts known not to be fatal – altered fruit fly larvae behaviour. Higher percentages impacted long-term survival
