1.
The experimental hut efficacy of next-generation insecticide-treated nets against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors after 12, 24 and 36 months of household use in Benin
Agbevo A, Syme T, Fagbohoun J, Fongnikin A, Ahoga J, Accrombessi M, et al.
Malar J . 2024 Dec; 23(1):388. PMID: 39695690
Background: Cluster-randomized controlled trials (cluster-RCTs) have demonstrated variation in the epidemiological efficacy of different next-generation insecticide-treated net (ITN) types, with some providing shorter-lived impact than others. Further studies are needed...
2.
The attrition, physical and insecticidal durability of two dual active ingredient nets (Interceptor® G2 and Royal Guard®) in Benin, West Africa: results from a durability study embedded in a cluster randomised controlled trial
Ngufor C, Fagbohoun J, Fongnikin A, Ahoga J, Syme T, Ahogni I, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2024 Oct; 17(1):420. PMID: 39375740
Background: Studies evaluating the attrition, physical and insecticidal durability of dual active ingredient (AI) insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are essential for making programmatic decisions regarding their deployment. We performed a prospective...

Mosquito Shield™, a transfluthrin passive emanator, protects against pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae sensu lato in central Benin
Fongnikin A, Ahoga J, Ndombidje B, Hueha C, de Souza E, Oti-Tossou R, et al.
Malar J . 2024 Jul; 23(1):225. PMID: 39085888
Background: Spatial repellents can provide personal and household protection against biting vector mosquitoes by volatizing repellents into the air within a given area. Mosquito Shield™ is a transfluthrin passive emanator...
4.
Malaria prevalence and transmission in the Zakpota sub-district of central Benin: baseline characteristics for a community randomised trial of a new insecticide for indoor residual spraying
Govoetchan R, Fongnikin A, Hueha C, Ahoga J, Boko C, Syme T, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2024 Jul; 17(1):303. PMID: 38997729
Background: Malaria transmission is known to be perennial and heterogeneous in Benin. Studies assessing local malaria prevalence, transmission levels and vector characteristics are critical for designing, monitoring and evaluating new...
5.
Community evaluation of VECTRON™ T500, a broflanilide insecticide, for indoor residual spraying for malaria vector control in central Benin; a two arm non-inferiority cluster randomised trial
Ngufor C, Govoetchan R, Fongnikin A, Hueha C, Ahoga J, Syme T, et al.
Sci Rep . 2023 Oct; 13(1):17852. PMID: 37857762
VECTRON™ T500 is a wettable powder IRS formulation of broflanilide, a newly discovered insecticide. We performed a two-arm non-inferiority community randomised evaluation of VECTRON™ T500, compared to Fludora® Fusion against...
6.
Evaluating the attrition, fabric integrity and insecticidal durability of two dual active ingredient nets (Interceptor G2 and Royal Guard): methodology for a prospective study embedded in a cluster randomized controlled trial in Benin
Ngufor C, Fongnikin A, Fagbohoun J, Agbevo A, Syme T, Ahoga J, et al.
Malar J . 2023 Sep; 22(1):276. PMID: 37716970
Background: Following the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsement of dual active ingredient (AI) nets, an increased uptake of pyrethroid-chlorfenapyr and pyrethroid-pyriproxyfen nets is expected. Studies evaluating their physical and insecticidal...
7.
Investigating discriminating concentrations for monitoring susceptibility to broflanilide and cross resistance to other insecticide classes in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato, using the new WHO bottle bioassay method
Govoetchan R, Odjo A, Todjinou D, Small G, Fongnikin A, Ngufor C
PLoS One . 2023 Mar; 18(3):e0276246. PMID: 36952515
Background: Broflanilide is a new insecticide being developed for malaria vector control. As new insecticide chemistries become available, strategies to preserve the susceptibility of local malaria vectors and extend their...
8.
VECTRON™ T500, a new broflanilide insecticide for indoor residual spraying, provides prolonged control of pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors
Govoetchan R, Fongnikin A, Syme T, Small G, Gbegbo M, Todjinou D, et al.
Malar J . 2022 Nov; 21(1):324. PMID: 36369006
Background: Broflanilide is a newly discovered insecticide with a novel mode of action targeting insect γ-aminobutyric acid receptors. The efficacy of VECTRON T500, a wettable powder formulation of broflanilide, was...
9.
Pyrethroid-piperonyl butoxide (PBO) nets reduce the efficacy of indoor residual spraying with pirimiphos-methyl against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors
Syme T, Gbegbo M, Obuobi D, Fongnikin A, Agbevo A, Todjinou D, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Apr; 12(1):6857. PMID: 35478216
Pirimiphos-methyl is a pro-insecticide requiring activation by mosquito cytochrome P450 enzymes to induce toxicity while PBO blocks activation of these enzymes in pyrethroid-resistant vector mosquitoes. PBO may thus antagonise the...
