  abstract = {{T}he preventive measures against malaria recommended by the {WHO} include anti-vector procedures such as indoor residual spraying, the use of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed-nets, and the destruction of larval breeding sites. {T}he presence of insecticide-treated materials inside the mosquito habitat has consequences for the vector's population, reducing density, survival, contact with humans, and feeding frequency. {H}owever, the effectiveness of these tools is being challenged by the emergence of insecticide resistance. {T}he evolution of resistance to insecticides in {A}nopheles threatens to thwart the goal of decreasing malaria transmission, in an arms race between malaria control programmes and the vector populations. {M}ultiple mechanisms of resistance to insecticides have been observed in {A}nopheles populations, including target site mutation (knockdown resistance), increased metabolic detoxification, and remarkable behavioural adaptation. {T}hese disturbing observations all show the capacity of {A}nopheles to adapt to and circumvent strategies aimed at reducing malaria transmission. {T}hus, by using nets to protect ourselves, are we providing {A}nopheles with the entire arsenal needed to hit much harder?},
