dc.description.abstractIndependent evidence from screening assays indicate that baseline populations of T. infestans had increased resistance to pyrethroids throughout rural districts. Repeated spraying with pyrethroids of persistent sites of infestation demonstrated that some bug populations could not be eliminated even after 4 professional treatments. By identifying and mapping households and spatial clusters at higher risk of transmission, targeted strategies involving close monitoring of infestation may be more cost-effective in disperse rural areas than blanket vector surveillance strategies. Transmission was more intense in domestic sites, followed by storerooms or kitchens. The report provides project details.en
