The most dominant African vectors of malaria parasites are <jats:italic>Anopheles gambiae<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Anopheles funestus<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes. These species often exhibit divergent behaviours and adaptive changes underscoring the importance of deploying active and effective measures in their control. Unlike <jats:italic>An. gambiae<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes are poorly studied in Benin Republic. However, recent reports indicated that <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> can adapt and colonize various ecological niches owing to its resistance against insecticides and adaptation to changing breeding habitats. Unfortunately, scientific investigations on the contribution of <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> to malaria transmission, their susceptibility to insecticide and resistance mechanism developed are currently insufficient for the design of better control strategies. In an attempt to gather valuable information on <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic>, the present review examines the progress made on this malaria vector species in Benin Republic and highlights future research perspectives on insecticide resistance profiles and related mechanisms, as well as new potential control strategies against <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic>. Literature analysis revealed that <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> is distributed all over the country, although present in low density compared to other dominant malaria vectors. Interestingly, <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> is being found in abundance during the dry seasons, suggesting an adaptation to desiccation. Among the <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> group, only <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> sensu stricto (s.s.) and <jats:italic>Anopheles leesoni<\/jats:italic> were found in the country with <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> s.s. being the most abundant species. Furthermore, <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> s.s. is the only one species in the group contributing to malaria transmission and have adapted biting times that allow them to bite at dawn. In addition, across the country, <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic> were found resistant to pyrethroid insecticides used for bed nets impregnation and also resistant to bendiocarb which is currently being introduced in indoor residual spraying formulation in malaria endemic regions. All these findings highlight the challenges faced in controlling this malaria vector. Therefore, advancing the knowledge of vectorial competence of <jats:italic>An. funestus<\/jats:italic>, understanding the dynamics of insecticide resistance in this malaria vector, and exploring alternative vector control measures, are critical for sustainable malaria control efforts in Benin Republic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12936-023-04815-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,21]],"date-time":"2023-12-21T17:02:33Z","timestamp":1703178153000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Vectorial competence, insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus and operational implications for malaria vector control strategies in Benin Republic"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Romaric","family":"Akoton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierre Marie","family":"Sovegnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oswald Y.","family":"Djihinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adand\u00e9 A.","family":"Medjigbodo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Romuald","family":"Agonhossou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helga M.","family":"Saizonou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Genevieve M.","family":"Tchigossou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seun M.","family":"Atoyebi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Tossou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francis","family":"Zeukeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamirath O.","family":"Lagnika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wassiyath","family":"Mousse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayola Akim","family":"Adegnika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rousseau","family":"Djouaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luc S.","family":"Djogb\u00e9nou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"4815_CR1","unstructured":"Institut National de la Statistique et de l\u2019Analyse Economique (INSAE).
