THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS BEAUVERIA BASSIANA REDUCES INSTANTANEOUS BLOOD FEEDING IN WILD MULTI-INSECTICIDE-RESISTANT CULEX QUINQUEFASCIATUS MOSQUITOES IN BENIN, WEST AFRICA

Abstract Background Mosquito-borne diseases are still a major health risk in many developing countries, and the emergence of multi-insecticide-resistant mosquitoes is threatening the future of vector control.Therefore, new tools that can manage resistant mosquitoes are required.Laboratory studies show that entomopathogenic fungi can kill insecticid
