  abstract = {{I}nsecticides are a key component of vector-based malaria control programmes in {C}ameroon. {A}s part of ongoing resistance surveillance efforts, {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. female mosquitoes were exposed to organochlorine ({DDT}), a carbamate (bendiocarb), an organophosphate (malathion), and three pyrethroids (deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin and permethrin) in {WHO} bioassay test kits. {R}esults indicated a higher level of resistance (reduced mortality and knockdown effect) to {DDT} and pyrethroids in populations of {A}. gambiae s.s. than in {A}. arabiensis. {T}he {W}est and {E}ast {A}frican knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations were found in both species but at much higher frequencies in {A}. gambiae s.s. {T}he {W}est {A}frica kdr mutant was also more frequent in the {A}. gambiae {S} form than in the {M}, form. {N}o resistance to bendiocarb and malathion was found. {C}arbamate and organophosphorous compounds could thus be used as alternatives in locations in {C}ameroon where pyrethroid-resistant populations are found.},
