Abstract
Insecticides are widely used to control malaria vectors and have significantly contributed to the reduction of malaria-caused mortality. In addition, the same classes of insecticides were widely introduced and used in agriculture in Benin since 1980s. These factors probably contributed to the selection of insecticide resistance in malaria vector populations reported in several localities in Benin. This insecticide resistance represents a threat to vector control tool and should be monitored. The present study reveals observed insecticide resistance trends in Benin to help for a better management of insecticide resistance.
Mosquito larvae were collected in eight sites and reared in laboratory. Bioassays were conducted on the adult mosquitoes upon the four types of insecticide currently used in public health in Benin. Knock-down resistance, insensitive acetylcholinesterase-1 resistance, and metabolic resistance analysis were performed in the mosquito populations based on molecular and biochemical analysis. The data were mapped using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Arcgis software.
Mortalities observed with Deltamethrin (pyrethroid class) were less than 90% in 5 locations, between 90-97% in 2 locations, and over 98% in one location. Bendiocarb (carbamate class) showed mortalities ranged 90-97% in 2 locations and were over 98% in the others locations. A complete susceptibility to Pirimiphos methyl and Fenitrothion (organophosphate class) was observed in all locations with 98-100% mortalities. Knock-down resistance frequencies were high (0.78-0.96) and similar between
This study showed a widespread resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid previously located in southern Benin, an early emergence of carbamates resistance from northern Benin and a full susceptibility to organophosphates. Several resistance mechanisms were detected in vectors with a potential cross resistance to pyrethroids through Knock-down and metabolic resistance mechanisms.

In addition, the same classes of insecticides were widely introduced and used in agriculture in Benin since 1980s. These factors probably contributed to the selection of insecticide resistance in malaria vector populations reported in several localities in Benin. This insecticide resistance represents a threat to vector control tool and should be monitored. The present study reveals observed insecticide resistance trends in Benin to help for a better management of insecticide resistance.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Mosquito larvae were collected in eight sites and reared in laboratory. Bioassays were conducted on the adult mosquitoes upon the four types of insecticide currently used in public health in Benin. Knock-down resistance, insensitive acetylcholinesterase-1 resistance, and metabolic resistance analysis were performed in the mosquito populations based on molecular and biochemical analysis. The data were mapped using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Arcgis software.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Mortalities observed with Deltamethrin (pyrethroid class) were less than 90% in 5 locations, between 90-97% in 2 locations, and over 98% in one location. Bendiocarb (carbamate class) showed mortalities ranged 90-97% in 2 locations and were over 98% in the others locations. A complete susceptibility to Pirimiphos methyl and Fenitrothion (organophosphate class) was observed in all locations with 98-100% mortalities. Knock-down resistance frequencies were high (0.78-0.96) and similar between <italic>Anopheles coluzzii</italic>, <italic>Anopheles gambiae</italic>, <italic>Anopheles arabiensis,</italic> and <italic>Anopheles melas</italic>. Insensitive acetylcholinesterase-1 was rare (0.002-0.1) and only detected in <italic>Anopheles gambiae</italic> in concomitance with Knock-down resistance mutation. The maps showed a large distribution of Deltamethrin resistance, Knock-down mutation and metabolic resistance throughout the country, a suspected resistance to Bendiocarb and detection of insensitive acetylcholinesterase-1 from northern Benin, and a wide distribution of susceptible vectors to Pirimiphos methyl and Fenitrothion.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>This study showed a widespread resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid previously located in southern Benin, an early emergence of carbamates resistance from northern Benin and a full susceptibility to organophosphates. Several resistance mechanisms were detected in vectors with a potential cross resistance to pyrethroids through Knock-down and metabolic resistance mechanisms.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Pyrethroids resistance</kwd><kwd>Bendiocarb resistance</kwd><kwd>Insensitive acetylcholinesterase-1</kwd><kwd>Knock-down resistance</kwd><kwd>Resistance map</kwd></kwd-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2015</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Background</title><p>For malaria vector control intervention, Indoor Residual Spray and Insecticide Treated Net are so far the most effective tools used [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. These two interventions are based on the use of different classes of insecticide.</p><p>Pyrethroid insecticides are considered most suitable for mosquito nets treatment due to their high insecticidal potency at low dosages and a relative safety for human contact and domestic handling [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. They included: Lambdacyhalothrin, Permethrinn, Alpha-cypermethrin, Etofenprox, and Cylfluthrin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. They have a quick knock-down and lethal effect on <italic>Anopheles gambiae sensu lato</italic> (<italic>An. gambiae s.l</italic>) mosquitoes at low concentrations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. The majority of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets freely distributed in all localities in Benin through mass-distribution campaigns and routine distributions since 2007 were Deltamethrin and Permethrin based [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>].</p><p>Bendiocarb was previously used for indoor residual spray in Oueme province in Benin from 2008 to 2010 (6 spray cycles) and showed a significant reduction in malaria transmission [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. It is also used for indoor residual spray in Atacora province each year with one spray cycle per year since 2011 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>].</p><p>But the use of these vector control tools cannot be efficient if their use does not take into account the environmental factors associated with insecticide resistance before their implementation. Pyrethroids resistance was reported in several localities in southern Benin since 1999 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>] and represented also a threat for these interventions. In addition, the lack of baseline data before the implementation of vectors control intervention in an area needs to be addressed. For example, the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) needs data on the dynamics of insecticide resistance in all the epidemiological patterns of the country, particularly a map on the entomological situation of Benin, to be used as a guide to the choice of vector control strategies. This study was developed in this framework. The study was conducted in eight randomly selected sites. The eight sites were selected in the main malaria eco-epidemiological areas of Benin where geography (climate, land, vegetation and agriculture practices) and malaria prevalence were different [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. At each site, the level of vector resistance (Pyrethroids, Carbamates, and Organophosphates) and the resistance mechanisms (Kdr-west, Ace-1<sup>R</sup> and metabolic resistance) involved were assessed. A mapping of the distribution of vector resistance and vector resistance mechanisms was done. Data gathered in the different malaria eco-epidemiological areas will guide malaria vectors resistance strategies in Benin.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Study design</title><p>The study was conducted in each rainy season (April-July; October-November) in 2012, 2013, and 2014 in eight districts randomly selected from different geo-epidemiological regions in Benin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>].

It showed a confirmed resistance to Deltamethrin (pirethrinoid) throughout the country except in Ouidah, an emerging resistance to Bendiorcarb (carbamates) in northern Benin, and a full susceptibility to Pirimiphos methyl and Fenitrothion (organophosphate) with a slow effect of Fenitrothion according to WHO thresholds. These thresholds have no epidemiological meaning because the field performance of the insecticides tested remain high [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. However, they were more likely designed to be the triggers of preventive action by national malaria control program to define efficient strategies to manage insecticide resistance without waiting for indisputable proof of interventions failure [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>].</p><p>Resistance levels to Deltamethrin varied between localities reflecting variation in resistance selection pressures on different vector populations. Deltamethrin and Permethrin are the most found insecticides on mass-distributed insecticide-treated nets in Benin (from national campaign and routine distributions) with similar coverage rates between regions (74-94%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. This should select resistance in the wild mosquito populations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>] and might explain the similar frequencies of Knock-down resistance (Kdr) between regions. In addition, there are also selection pressures generated by the use of the same class of insecticide in agriculture that represent the main activities of certain districts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>] and could explain the observed variations. The observed resistance level to Deltamethrin observed in southern Benin was similar to the results previously reported by Djègbè <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>] and Sovi <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>].</p><p>The Knock-down resistance gene was the main resistance mechanism found in all assessed mosquito populations. It was found at very high frequencies (0.80 in average) in <italic>An. gambiae</italic>, <italic>An. coluzzii</italic>, <italic>An. arabiensis</italic> and <italic>An. melas</italic> populations tested, and was widespread in the country. Their spread could be due to both vector bio-ecology and resistance selection pressure due to the intensive use of public health insecticides in agriculture [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>].</p><p>In addition to pyrethroid resistance, we observed the emergence of carbamates resistance. This resistance to carbamates was previously reported in Benin by Djogbenou <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>] and Aïkpon <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. It was associated with very low frequency of insensitive Ace-1 gene detected. This mutation was previously reported by Corbel <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>], Djogbénou <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>], Djenontin <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>], Yadouléton <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>] and by Aikpon <italic>et al.</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. This early spread of Ace-1<sup>R</sup> mutation should be monitored closely. As the use of Bendiocarb in Indoor Residual Spray is part of a National Malaria Control Program strategy it could increase the frequency of the Ace-1<sup>R</sup> gene and lead to a widespread of this resistance mutation. It is urgent for this purpose to follow-up monitoring for a better management of this resistance mechanism.</p><p>However, even if Kdr and Ace-1R genes confer a significant effect on vector resistance, they do not fully explain the observed vectors resistance level to insecticides because homozygous susceptible subjects (SS) survived to pyrethroids and carbamates exposure suggesting an involvement of other alternative mechanisms such as metabolic resistance mechanisms [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>].</p><p>To assess the metabolic resistance mechanisms involved in the assessed vector populations, a biochemical approach was used. High activity of glutathione-s-transferase, cytochrome P450 and non-specific esterases were observed in some areas of southern and central Benin. These results were also previously reported in Atacora province [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>] and in Cameroon [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref>]. These enzymes can confer resistance to organophosphates, organochlorines and pyrethroids [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">47</xref>]. They were found with Kdr mutation in the same vector populations and could confer a cross resistance to pyrethroids. The over expression of these enzymes could also explain the slow effect of some organophosphates like Fenitrothion on mosquito populations in absence of insensitive acetylcholinesterase-1.</p><p>Ideally, when the resistance is detected for an insecticide, other insecticide categories must be used as part of a dynamic resistance management. However, very few insecticides are currently available for treatment of mosquito nets and indoor residual spray [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">48</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR49">49</xref>]. The insecticide change can also lead to higher costs of intervention programs reducing resistance managing options. For example, the change from Bendiocarb (8 US$/house) to Fenitrothion (15.40 US$/house) in indoor residual spray intervention will be 2 times more expensive [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">50</xref>]. In general, the use of insecticides does not create resistance itself, but selects a small proportion of subjects with a genetic mutation that allow them to resist and survive the effects of the insecticide. If this advantage is maintained by a constant use of the same insecticide, the resistant insects will reproduce and the genetic changes that confer resistance are transferred from parents to offspring so that eventually resistant subjects become numerous within the population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR52">52</xref>]. The spread of resistant subjects will take more time if the resistance gene is rare or present at low frequency. It is also complex and depends on several genetic, biological and operational factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>]. Biological factors affect the life cycle of the insect (the reproduction rate, the number of generation or offspring, the rate of migration and isolation, etc.), while genetic factors include intrinsic characteristics of the resistance genes (mono function of polygenic resistance, domination, genetic cost and the interaction of genes) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR53">53</xref>]. Operational factors concern the insecticide treatment itself, including the method and frequency of application, dosage and the residual activity of the insecticide and the level of insecticide coverage.</p><p>In theory, the resistance management of insecticide resistance should be performed by alternating vector control methods based on the use of insecticides and non-insecticidal methods. In practice, most non-insecticidal methods work well in experimental trials but become difficult when programs intensify their long-term use (operational) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR54">54</xref>]. Then, operationally, the simplest way of resistance management should involve insecticides management. The implementation of management strategies that may delay selection and spread of resistance to insecticides is therefore the main gateway for vector control programs. Another alternative is to find other insecticide formulations that will enhance the choice possibilities of insecticides.</p><p>This data will enable the National Malaria control programme to determine what insecticide to use and where. They should implement a rapid pro-active response to avoid vectors resistance to Pirimiphosmethyl and delay the spread of Bendiocarb resistance. Alternative non-insecticidal methods should be used, wherever possible, to delay insecticide resistance.</p></sec><sec id="Sec25" sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusion</title><p>This study shows the resistance profile of malaria vectors to different categories of insecticides used for vector control in Benin. A widespread malaria vector resistance to pyrethroid and an early emergence of carbamates resistance in the northern region of the country were observed. However, vectors were fully susceptible to organophosphates including Pirimiphos methyl and Fenitrothion but with a rapid susceptibility to the effect of Pirimiphos methyl.</p><p>This useful information could help policy-makers to better plan insecticide resistance management. The most convenient option is based on the appropriate use of insecticides. The moment of insecticide use, method of use (combined or single), the frequency and duration of use need to be planned accordingly to delay the spread of vectors resistance.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn><p><bold>Competing interests</bold></p><p>The authors declare that they have no competing interests.</p></fn><fn><p><bold>Authors’ contributions</bold></p><p>VG designed experiments, coordinated field activities, wrote and revised the paper; FRA, KB, RG, RA, RAZ, RAY, and RA participated in Laboratory activities, data collection and revised the paper; FO helped with statistical analysis and revised the paper; FTT, RA, RO helped in the study design and revised the paper; MA designed the study, supervised field activities and revised the manuscript.
