Field tests conducted on adult Anopheles mosquitoes using standard WHO procedures, diagnostic kits and test papers in south-western Nigeria showed pyrethroid (deltamethrin and permethrin) resistance in adult populations of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto. The knock-down resistance (kdr) mutation involved in pyrethroid resistance was only found in the molecular S form of An. gambiae s.s. even in area where both molecular M and S forms occurred in sympatry. The absence of the kdr mutation in the M form suggests an additional pyrethroid resistance mechanism in An. gambiae s.s.
