Abstract
Regular monitoring of insecticide resistance status is an important step in implementing appropriate and adapted insecticide-based strategies for vector control. In Senegal, Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) and a national distribution campaign for long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN) have been implemented since 2007 and 2009, respectively to prevent malaria transmission. To expand and ensure the sustainability of these strategies, we conducted a study on the status of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in the seaside area of Mbour and its suburbs where no data were previously available. Anopheles larvae were sampled from four study sites (two in both coastal and inland areas) and reared to adulthood in the insectarium. Non-blood-fed females aged 3-5 days were then tested for susceptibility to permethrin, deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, bendiocarb and pirimiphos-methyl. PCR amplification was used to identify sibling species of the An. gambiae complex and genotyping for the presence of resistance knockdown (kdr) L1014S, L1014F and Ace-1 G119S. Anopheles arabiensis was the only species present in the area. At all four sites, mosquitoes were resistant to deltamethrin, permethrin, and lambdacyhalothrin, and exhibited varying degrees of resistance to bendiocarb and pirimiphos-methyl. Overall, high levels of leucine-serine/phenylalanine substitutions at position 1014 (L1014S/L1014F) were observed, with frequencies ranging from 76.4 to 85.2 % for L1014F, and from 43.2 to 66.7 % for L1014S, compared to 8.1 to 28.3 for the Ace-1 G119S mutation. These results indicate a high level of phenotypic and genotypic resistance to insecticides, which is alarming, as it could have a significant impact on the operational effectiveness of current vector control tools that rely on pyrethroids. However, in the case of bendiocarb and pirimiphos-methyl, while some level of tolerance was observed, their potential use requires regular monitoring to prevent operational failure, as their deployment could potentially lead to an increase in resistance to them.

Abstract
The effectiveness of pyrethroid insecticides is seriously threatened by knockdown resistance (kdr), which is induced in insects by inherited single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene. VGSC's L1014F substitution results in the classic kdr mutation, which is found in many pest species. Other substitutions of the L1014 locus, such as L1014S, L1014C, L1014W, and L1014H, were also reported. In 2022, a new amino acid substitute L1014S of Blattella germanica was first discovered in China. We modified the BgNav1-1 sodium channel from cockroaches with the L1014S mutation to study how pyrethroid sensitivity and channel gating were affected in Xenopus oocytes. The L1014S mutation reduced the half-maximal activation voltage (V1/2,act) from -19.0 (wild type) to -15.5 mV while maintaining the voltage dependency of activation. Moreover, the voltage dependence of inactivation in the hyperpolarizing shifts from -48.3 (wild type) to -50.9 mV. However, compared with wild type, the mutation L1014S did not cause a significant shift in the half activation voltage (V1/2,act). Notably, the voltage dependency of activation was unaffected greatly by the L1014S mutation. Tail currents are induced by two types of pyrethroids (1 μM): type I (permethrin, bifenthrin) and type II (deltamethrin, λ-cyhalothrin). All four pyrethroids produced tail currents, and significant differences were found in the percentages of channel modifications between variants and wild types. Further computer modeling showed that the L1014S mutation allosterically modifies pyrethroid binding and action on B. germanica VGSC, with some residues playing a critical role in pyrethroid binding. This study elucidated the pyrethroid resistance mechanism of B. germanica and predicted the residues that may confer the risk of pyrethroid resistance, providing a molecular basis for understanding the resistance mechanisms conferred by mutations at the 1014 site in VGSC.

Evolution of the Ace-1 and Gste2 Mutations and Their Potential Impact on the Use of Carbamate and Organophosphates in IRS for Controlling Anopheles gambiae s.l., the Major Malaria Mosquito in Senegal. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11091021. [PMID: 36145453 PMCID: PMC9504234 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11091021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Widespread of insecticide resistance amongst the species of the Anopheles gambiae complex continues to threaten vector control in Senegal. In this study, we investigated the presence and evolution of the Ace-1 and Gste2 resistance genes in natural populations of Anopheles gambiae s.l., the main malaria vector in Senegal. Using historical samples collected from ten sentinel health districts, this study focused on three different years (2013, 2017, and 2018) marking the periods of shift between the main public health insecticides families (pyrethroids, carbamates, organophosphates) used in IRS to track back the evolutionary history of the resistance mutations on the Ace-1 and Gste2 loci. The results revealed the presence of four members of the Anopheles gambiae complex, with the predominance of An. arabiensis followed by An. gambiae, An. coluzzii, and An. gambiae–coluzzii hybrids. The Ace-1 mutation was only detected in An. gambiae and An. gambiae–coluzzii hybrids at low frequencies varying between 0.006 and 0.02, while the Gste2 mutation was found in all the species with a frequency ranging between 0.02 and 0.25. The Ace-1 and Gste2 genes were highly diversified with twenty-two and thirty-one different haplotypes, respectively. The neutrality tests on each gene indicated a negative Tajima’s D, suggesting the abundance of rare alleles. The presence and spread of the Ace-1 and Gste2 resistance mutations represent a serious threat to of the effectiveness and the sustainability of IRS-based interventions using carbamates or organophosphates to manage the widespread pyrethroids resistance in Senegal. These data are of the highest importance to support the NMCP for evidence-based vector control interventions selection and targeting.
