Abstract

from the population showed resistance to deltamethrin and pirimiphos-methyl but were susceptible to malathion. Our results indicate a high risk of CHIKV and DENV infection in mosquitoes during the chikungunya outbreak in Pouytenga. We emphasise the need to implement sustainable entomological and epidemiological surveillance at sentinel sites for early detection of circulating arboviruses, along with intensified vector control measures to prevent outbreaks.
