Pyrethroid-piperonyl butoxide (PBO) nets reduce the efficacy of indoor residual spraying with pirimiphos-methyl against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors

Résumé

Pirimiphos-methyl is a pro-insecticide requiring activation by mosquito cytochrome P450 enzymes to induce toxicity while PBO blocks activation of these enzymes in pyrethroid-resistant vector mosquitoes. PBO may thus antagonise the toxicity of pirimiphos-methyl IRS when combined with pyrethroid-PBO ITNs. The impact of combining Olyset Plus and PermaNet 3.0 with Actellic 300CS IRS was evaluated against pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.l. in two parallel experimental hut trials in southern Benin. The vector population was resistant to pyrethroids and PBO pre-exposure partially restored deltamethrin toxicity but not permethrin. Mosquito mortality in experimental huts was significantly improved in the combinations of bendiocarb IRS with pyrethroid-PBO ITNs (33-38%) compared to bendiocarb IRS alone (14-16%, p < 0.001), demonstrating an additive effect. Conversely, mortality was significantly reduced in the combinations of pirimiphos-methyl IRS with pyrethroid-PBO ITNs (55-59%) compared to pirimiphos-methyl IRS alone (77-78%, p < 0.001), demonstrating evidence of an antagonistic effect when both interventions are applied in the same household. Mosquito mortality in the combination was significantly higher compared to the pyrethroid-PBO ITNs alone (55-59% vs. 22-26% p < 0.001) showing potential of pirimiphos-methyl IRS to enhance vector control when deployed to complement pyrethroid-PBO ITNs in an area where PBO fails to fully restore susceptibility to pyrethroids.
