TL;DR: This approach, which integrates remotely sensed data and GIS capabilities to identify villages with high vector-human contact risk, provides a promising tool for malaria surveillance programs that depend on labor-intensive field techniques, and could be applied to other vector-borne diseases.

TL;DR: Biochemical assays showed that the DDT resistance was caused by elevated levels of glutathione S‐transferase (GST) activity leading to increased rates of metabolism of DDT to DDE, suggesting that this is the only majorDDT resistance mechanism in this population.

TL;DR: A blind test of two remote sensing-based models for predicting adult populations of Anopheles albimanus in villages, an indicator of malaria transmission risk, was conducted in southern Chiapas, Mexico, demonstrating thatRemote sensing- based models generated for one area can be used successfully in another, comparable area.

TL;DR: A novel replacement V410L was identified in Brazil and its effect on vgsc was confirmed by electrophysiology, and it was screened in 25 Ae.

TL;DR: Biochemical assays showed that DDT resistance was primarily caused by elevated levels of glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity leading to increased rates of metabolism of DDT to DDE, suggesting that this is the only majorDDT resistance mechanism in this population.
