(mortality 69%), but it was susceptible to deltamethrin (mortality 97-100%) and permethrin (mortality 100%). {A}lthough insufficient number of primary vectors were collected, results showed that {A}nopheles dirus s.l. and {A}nopheles maculatus s.l. were susceptible to deltamethrin (mortality 100%). {A}nopheles nivipes and {A}nopheles philippinensis were susceptible to all three insecticides. {PBO} significantly increased mortality to deltamethrin and permethrin in pyrethroid-resistant {A}n. hyrcanus s.l. {N}one of the sequenced specimens presented the {L}1014{F} or {L}1014{S} mutation. {D}iscussion: {T}his study shows that insecticide resistance is present in potential malaria vectors in northeastern {T}hailand. {T}he absence of kdr mutations in all {A}nopheles species tested suggests that metabolic resistance is the main mechanism of pyrethroid resistance. {T}his study provides new findings about insecticide susceptibility status of potential malaria vectors in northeastern {T}hailand that are deemed important to guide malaria vector control.}, keywords = {{M}alaria ; {V}ectors ; {A}nopheles ; {P}yrethroids ; {DDT} ; {R}esistance ; {S}ynergists ; kdr ; {THAILANDE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{M}alaria {J}ournal}, volume = {16}, numero = {}, pages = {art. 299 [13 p.]}, ISSN = {1475-2875}, year = {2017}, DOI = {10.1186/s12936-017-1948-z}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010070854}, }
