    Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors remains a global public health problem; however, little is known about resistance levels in Osun State, despite relatively high rates of malaria and distribution of insecticide-treated nets in the area. This study evaluates the resistance status of adult female Anopheles gambiae s.l to pyrethroids (permethrin, deltamethrin and alpha-cypermethrin) and an organophosphate (pirimiphos-methyl) insecticides and knockdown resistant (KDR) gene detection in six locations (Ido-Osun, Ipetumodu, Inisa, Ejigbo, Ijebu-Jesha and Ila) across the three senatorial districts in Osun State, Nigeria. Larval sampling was done between 0700hr and 1100hrs weekly between January and December 2022. Collected larvae were reared to the adult stage in the Department of Animal and Environmental Biology laboratory of Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria and then identified morphologically using morphological keys. Insecticide bioassay was conducted with permethrin (0.75%), deltamethrin (0.05%), alpha-cypermethrin (0.05%) and pirimiphos-methyl (0.25%) using WHO procedure. The mosquitoes were subjected to molecular analysis to detect the KDR gene. Pirimiphos-methyl showed significantly higher knockdown at 60 minutes (KD60) and achieved 100% mortality compared with the pyrethroids tested (p < 0.05), with no resistance detected across the study areas. Overall, pyrethroid mortality ranged from 40% to 97% across the study sites, indicating suspected to confirmed resistance. The lowest mortality was recorded at Ila for permethrin (86%) and at Ejigbo for alpha-cypermethrin (60%) and deltamethrin (40%)”. In addition, there was the detection of the KDR gene across the study areas. The present study reveals the insecticidal efficacy of pirimiphos-methyl against female Anopheles gambiae s.l as compared to pyrethroids. Therefore, there is a need to intensify insecticide resistance surveillance of Anopheles in Osun State to plan indoor residual spraying with pirimiphos-methyl and explore the use of PBO or dual active ingredient insecticides treated nets (ITNs) to address the potential impacts of pyrethroid resistance.

  • Spatial distribution and insecticide resistance of Aedes mosquitoes in Osun State: implications for vector control
    L. O. Busari, A. S. Babalola, Q. O. Adeshina, O. G. Dauda, Z. O. Iwalewa, et al.
    Tropical Medicine and Health, 2025
    Background Aedes mosquitoes are primary vectors of arboviral diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, posing major threats to tropical public health. Understanding their spatial distribution and resistance status is vital for sustainable control. This study investigated the mapping of breeding habitats, species composition, and insecticide susceptibility in Aedes populations from Osun State, Nigeria. Methods Larval surveys across a rural community identified 36 potential habitats, of which 27.8% were positive for Aedes breeding. A total of 3500 larvae were collected, reared to adult stage, morphologically identified and subjected to WHO-standard insecticide bioassays. Results Two species were identified: Aedes aegypti (99.3%) and Aedes albopictus (0.7%), with Ae. aegypti strongly predominant ( p < 0.05). Mortality rates following insecticide exposure ranged from 94 to 100%. Complete susceptibility was observed for permethrin, deltamethrin, and pirimiphos-methyl, while reduced mortality (94%) against alpha-cypermethrin indicated possible emerging resistance. The mapping of larval habitats revealed clustered breeding in rural communities, portending localized risk of arboviral transmission. Conclusions These findings highlight that while Aedes populations in the study area remain largely susceptible to conventional insecticides, early signals of resistance require proactive management by the state. Incorporating synergists into integrated vector control, alongside habitat surveillance and mapping, will be critical to sustaining insecticide effectiveness and reducing the burden of Aedes -borne diseases in Osun State and Nigeria at large.
  • Vector dynamics and Onchocerca infectivity status of Simulium damnosum complex at Arinta and Erin-Ijesha waterfalls, Southwest Nigeria
    Oluwadamilare Ganiu Dauda, Akinlabi Mohammed Rufai, Olabanji Ahmed Surakat, Zahra Oyindamola Iwalewa, Kamilu Ayo Fasasi, et al.
    Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2025
    Background & objectives: Arinta and Erin-Ijesha are popular waterfalls in Southwest Nigeria where preliminary assessments identified blackfly activity, yet data on vector dynamics and Onchocerca infectivity remain unavailable. This study investigated these parameters to assess the risk of onchocerciasis transmission at both sites. Methods: Adult blackflies were collected for three consecutive days in a month by two dark complexioned adult male human landing catchers from September 2023 to August 2024. For each hour of sampling, 20% of the catches were randomly selected and dissected in real-time to assess parity and infectivity using standard procedure. The remaining flies were morphologically identified as savannah and forest flies and were preserved for O-150 pool screening. Results: A total of 1090 Simulium flies were caught, Arinta (n=1012) and Erin-Ijesha (n=78). The peak monthly biting rate (MBR) were 3160.0 (Arinta, September) and 289.3 (Erin-Ijesha, October) bites/person/month while the lowest MBRs were 72.3 (Arinta, July) and 0.0 (Erin-Ijesha, January to March, May, July and August) bites/person/month. The MBR at Arinta was significantly higher than at Erin-Ijesha (p=0.02). The Annual biting rate (ABR) at Arinta (10,231.8 bites/person/year) exceeded the WHO threshold of 1000 bites/person/year, while below at Erin-Ijesha (790 bites/person/year). All morphologically examined flies were identified as forest species. No Onchocerca infectivity was detected in dissected or pool-screened (n = 857) flies. Interpretation & conclusion: Findings suggest low risk of onchocerciasis transmission at both waterfalls, with blackflies merely constituting biting nuisance. Continued public health education of tourist is recommended to allay their fears on the public health risk posed by blackfly bites, along with the use of protective clothing and repellents.
  • Transmission indices of malaria in Anopheles mosquitoes in an agrarian community adjourning Osogbo, Southwestern Nigeria
    Zarat O Iwalewa, Olabanji A Surakat, Mohammed A Rufai, Kamilu A Fasasi, Harun K Aremu, et al.
    Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2025
    Background & objectives: Mosquitoes transmit malaria and other infectious diseases. A thorough understanding of the dynamics, biting behavior, and infectiousness of Anopheles vector sporozoites is required to calculate transmission indices and develop effective control tactics. The goal of this study was to identify the mosquito species in a rural settlement near the Osogbo city in southwestern Nigeria, as well as their sources of blood meals and the rate at which sporozoites are formed. Methods: From June to December 2021, 23 homes in the community were chosen at random to catch adult mosquitos with CDC light traps and pyrethrum spray catches (PSC). Mosquitoes were sorted using morphological criteria, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the origin of the blood meal, check for the infectivity of sporozoites in the mosquitoes, and calculate the fraction of Anopheles gambiae s.l. collected. Results: Among the 318 mosquitos collected, 185 (58.18 %) were recognized as An. gambiae s.l., four (1.26 %) as Aedes aegypti, 104 (32.70 %) as Culex quequinfasciatus, and 25 (7.86 %) as Mansonia uniformis. PCR revealed that the specimens of An. gambiae s.l. were 96% An. colluzzi and 4% An. gambiae s.s. An. colluzzi mosquito species only consumed human blood. Interpretation & conclusion: The presence of sporozoites in none of the An. gambiae s.l. mosquitoes in the area indicates a low rate of malaria transmission. The anthropoliphic nature of the Anopheles species implies a danger of malaria transmission, despite the fact that none of the people tested positive for sporozoites.

    Plos One, 2025
    In Nigeria, most research and malaria vector control efforts have focused on primary vectors within the Anopheles gambiae complex, with less emphasis on other secondary vectors. Consequently, understudied secondary vectors have demonstrated a proportional and increasing role in transmission. This study utilized geospatial models to understand the potential distribution of anopheline species other than An. gambiae complex (non-gambiae species) in Nigeria. Adult mosquitoes were sampled monthly between 2020 and 2022, with concurrent surveys of larval sites in selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) across 20 States resulting in the collection and identification of over 100,000 Anopheline mosquitoes. Utilizing 23 environmental variables, the model produced maps depicting the potential geographical distribution of four secondary vector species under current climatic conditions. An. funestus, An. coustani, An. maculipalpis, and An. rufipes dominated collections, with other species also present. Most species collected exhibited higher occurrences in the Northern parts of the country, albeit with lower numbers, while they seem confined to fewer locations in the southern parts - with higher densities. An. funestus, An. maculipalpis, and An. rufipes demonstrated a higher potential for wide range expansion compared to An. coustani based on the model. Overall, modeling outputs indicate that non-An. gambiae were expected to exhibit a wide-spread across the country, with their distribution primarily influenced by temperature rather than precipitation-related factors. These models provide research scientists and decision-makers with a baseline for research, monitoring towards establishing management plans for future national mosquito surveillance and control programs in Nigeria.
  • Knowledge and attitude of populations on blackflies and onchocerciasis and participation in mass drug administration in first-line communities near Erin-Ijesha and Arinta waterfalls, Southwest Nigeria
    Oluwadamilare Ganiu Dauda, Akinlabi Mohammed Rufai, Olabanji Ahmed Surakat, Oluwatoyin Adeola Oyeniran, Olusegun Quadri Adeshina, et al.
    Plos Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2025
    Background Preliminary assessments have identified blackfly biting activity at Erin-Ijesha and Arinta waterfalls in Southwest Nigeria, predisposing first-line communities to a high risk of onchocerciasis. There is a need to assess knowledge of blackflies, onchocerciasis, and participation in treatment programs among residents of first-line communities near the waterfalls to evaluate onchocerciasis transmission risk. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 236 residents at Erin-Ijesha and Ipole-Iloro, two first-line communities using structured questionnaires. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21. Relationships between variables were analyzed using t-test and chi-square, with a 95% confidence interval. Results Majority (73.3%) in Erin-Ijesha and (83.7%) in Ipole-Iloro reported knowledge of blackflies, with 83.3% and 87.0% aware of onchocerciasis, respectively. The majority of participants had no knowledge of how onchocerciasis is transmitted, with only 8.7% and 10.5% in Erin-Ijesha and Ipole-Iloro, respectively, linking the disease to blackfly bites. Ivermectin uptake was relatively high at 75.7% and 76.7% in Erin-Ijesha and Ipole-Iloro, respectively. Willingness to participate in future treatment programs was lower, at 64.7% and 64.0% in Erin-Ijesha and Ipole-Iloro, respectively. Level of education significantly influenced willingness to participate in future mass distribution of ivermectin (p < 0.05). Conclusion The limited understanding of blackfly bioecology and onchocerciasis among residents may lead to increased exposure to bites, thereby raising the risk of transmission. To address this, the federal and state ministries of health, along with treatment implementing partners, should enhance sensitization efforts and public health education during the annual Mass Drug Administration campaigns. Improving knowledge in these high-risk communities will encourage residents to take preventive measures against bites and improve treatment uptake, ultimately reducing the risk of disease transmission.

    Purpose: Honey are produced by honeybees which are expected to be free from contaminants or pollutants in the environment. But different degrees of anthropogenic activities in regions where apiaries domiciles have raised issues of primary health importance because of the increasing contents of pesticide residues, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other related hydrocarbon compounds in honey. Osun State is an agrarian state where agricultural herbicides and insecticides are used. The study focused on organophosphate and organochlorine compounds and PAHs. Research Method: Honey samples sourced from selected zones in Osun State, were screened for organophosphate, organochlorine compounds, PAHs as well as other related hydrocarbon compounds using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Finding: There were no traces of highlighted pesticide residues except for PAHs and other related compounds. Ninety-two PAHs and other related hydrocarbon compounds were identified. The number of PAHs and related compounds per sample ranged from 9 to 35. While Cyclohexane, Decodane and Naphthalene were the most common with higher concentrations in all the samples. The Mn±S.D values of Cyclohexane, Naphthalene and Decodane obtained were 0.2976±0.1253µgkg-1, 0.471±0.119µgkg-1, and 12.516±3.120µgkg-1 respectively. Other PAHs and other related hydrocarbon compounds identified had insignificant concentrations. Originality/value: The study recommends that bee farmers should locate their apiaries 3km to 5km away from regions where there are serious hazardous anthropogenic activities including industrial areas. Also, there is need for strong understanding between the bee farmers and crop farmers on tolerable uses of agricultural pesticides, and herbicides on field crops during the flower bloom period where there are no options. Lastly, harvested honey should undergo quality assurance and control for safety reasons. All packaged honey for retail should bear labels including the compositions after quality analysis.

    The study evaluates the resistance and susceptibility of adult female Anopheles gambiae s. l., Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes sourced within Osogbo metropolis, Osun State, Nigeria to four groups of insecticides [Permethrin, Deltamethrin, Pirimiphos-methyl and DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane)] and the distribution of their larval habitat within the metropolis. Mosquito larvae of the three genera were collected during the wet season and reared to adult stage in the laboratory. Emerged adult female mosquitoes were exposed to insecticide impregnated papers of the four insecticide groups for 60mins using WHO kits to determine the knock down rate (kdr). Thereafter, they were transferred into holding tubes and left for 24hrs to assess their resistance and susceptibility according to the WHO protocol. Four types of larval habitats were identified (tires, ground pools, gutters and plastic containers). Anopheles gambiae s. l. showed the highest resistance to Permethrin (49%) (p = 0.04, p<0.05) while the highest susceptibility was recorded with Pirimiphos-methyl (69%) with the lowest against Permethrin (16%) (P = 0.002; p<0.05). The highest resistance of A. aegypti was against OC-Control (45%) (p = 0.031; p<0.05). Permethrin had the highest susceptibility (60%) against A. aegypti while OC-control had the lowest (11%) (p = 0.005; p< 0.05). Culex quinquefasciatus had a lower resistance to OC-control (38%) as compared with Aedes aegypti (45%). However, it was least susceptible to Pirimiphos-methyl (52%) and DDT (17%) respectively (p = 0.013; p<0.05). The susceptibility of A. gambiae s. l. and C. quinquefasciatus to Pirimiphos-methyl and A. aegypti to Permethrin is an indication of the possibility of success if employed for vector control of A. gambiae s. l., C. quinquefasciatus and A. aegypti respectively. This could be through their inclusion as active ingredients in insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spray (IRS) with a view to abating malaria and other life-threatening mosquito-borne diseases constituting global public health scourge.
