Research conducted by the Biotechnology and Nuclear Research Institute (BNARI) of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) has revealed extreme resistance to insecticides among Anopheles mosquitoes in a small cocoa-growing village in the Ashanti Region.
The research conducted at Atatam in the Adansi Asokwa District showed that there were two major malaria vectors, one dominating during the dry season and the other during the rainy season.
In many communities, there is only one transmission season, usually the rainy season.
The Director of the BNARI, Dr Michael Osae, made this known when he shared the findings with the chiefs and the people of Atatam as part of a malaria awareness campaign.

The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has begun relocating traders operating from the compounds of some public school parks in the metropolis.
The traders are being returned to the main market in the Central Business District (CBD) of the port city as schools reopen on Monday, January 18.
Last year, as part of measures to prevent the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in the metropolis, the TMA took steps to decongest selected markets in the city and relocated traders to some public school parks around the CBD.
For instance, traders at the Tema Community 1 Market were moved to the Oninku Primary School in Tema Community 1, while others were relocated to the Twedaase Junior High School and the Chemu Senior High School parks.
