Tara Thiemann dips mosquito larvae in Tiko, Cameroon. She worked three weeks in Mali and five weeks in Cameroon collecting and examining mosquito specimens. Lisa Reimer works in a laboratory at the Malaria Research and Training Center at the University of Bamako, Mali. She treated the glass bottles with a discriminatory dose of permethrin and inserted 20 mosquitoes. Then, to determine the level of insecticide resistance, she counted the number knocked down.
