All studies during the last six decades have stated that sciomyzid larvae are strictly malacophagous. However, the Afrotropical sciomyzid Sepedonella nana species was found in this study to feed only on the small freshwater oligochaete, Aulophorus [...]
This study establishes the spatio-temporal distribution of sciomyzidae (Diptera) in relation with environmental factors in four localities in Benin. These communities are located at the south (localities 1 and 2) and at the center (localities 3 and [...]

Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) was implemented in the department of Ouémé-Plateau, southern Benin, in 2008 and withdrawn in 2011, when long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were distributed to the communities that were previously targete [...]

The present study was aimed to know the Sciomyzidae species in Benin. The entomological analysis carried out in the south and the center of Benin in bilharzia homes allowed to inventory during the surveys between August 2014 and July 2015. Eight spe [...]

Background: Since 2008, the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) has been engaged in the implementation of indoor residual spraying (IRS) in Benin. The first and second round was a success with a drastic decrease of malaria transmission in areas [...]
Background: In many parts of Africa as in Benin, the main strategies of vector control are based on the scaling-up of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS). The need to understand the biological implicati [...]
Background: Pyrethroid insecticides, carbamate and organophosphate are the classes of insecticides commonly used in agriculture for crop protection in Benin. Pyrethroids remain the only class of insecticides recommended by the WHO for impregnation [...]
Background: The emergence of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae has become a serious concern to the future success of malaria control. In Benin, the National Malaria Control Programme has recently planned to scaling up long-lasting insectic [...]
The study aimed to document the entomofauna of medico-legal importance in Benin, by studying arthropod’s succession pattern on the rabbit carrion and the variation of their density associated with temperature and humidity was also investigated. The s [...]
In 2008, the National Malaria Control Program in Benin implemented a vector control intervention based on indoor residual spraying (IRS). Four districts of high resistance of Anopheles gambiae to pyrethroids were sprayed with bendiocarb. More than [...]
