Effects of insecticide resistance on the reproductive potential of two sub-strains of the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii.

CONCLUSION: The results show differential life history traits between the two sub-strains of the malaria vector An. coluzzii, particularly fertility, insemination rate and sex ratio. They may have varied implications for insecticide resistance spread, monitoring and management; and hence underscore the need of further investigations before any generalization.
