The effect of the supplementation of non-commensal bacteria on the insecticide resistance phenotype of Anopheles arabiensis SENN-DDT. When the insecticide resistant SENN-DDT strain was supplemented with either gram-positive (Streptococcus pyrogenes) or gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), deltamethrin-induced mortality decreased in both males and females. Bacterial supplementation had no effect on male malathion-induced mortality, while only S. pyrogenes supplementation significantly reduced malathion-induced mortality in females. Asterisks indicate a significant difference from the untreated control of the same sex and insecticide exposure. The treatment label is in red to indicate insecticide resistance.
