Abstract

Malaria is the main vector borne diseases worldwide. According to the recent record of World Health Organization, 228 million cases have been reported in 2018 mainly in in African region. One of the main important measures for vector control is using insecticides. Monitoring and mapping of insecticide resistance is the main measure for appropriate decision. All the date published about resistant status of Anopheles sacharovi were searched on Pubmed, Elsevier, Springer, Web of Science, Iranmedex, Majiran, google scholar, etc. The results showed that there is widespread, resistance/tolerance to different groups of insecticides in the country. Monitoring and mapping as well as detection of mechanisms of insecticide resistance is appropriate for vector control decision. The results of resistant of this malaria vector to different WHO insecticides will provide an appropriate guideline for the Ministry of health and Medical Education of the country for appropriate vector control.

Summary

Introduction

Malaria is the main vector borne diseases worldwide. According to the recent record of World Health Organization, 228 million cases have been reported in 2018 mainly in in African region (WHO, 2019). The last checklist of Iranian mosquitoes shows 31 Anopheles species including sibling, biological forms and genotypes, 17 out of them are reported to be included in malaria transmission. These vectors are considered as sibling, genotype and type forms. Seasonal activity of Anopheline mosquitoes varies in different area due to environmental condition. It shows one peak in northwest especially in summer, there are two peaks of activity in coastal warm and humid region in the southern part of Iran with oriental epidemiological characteristics
