Abstract excerpt
Two amino acid substitutions in a housefly sodium channel, L1014F in domain IIS6 and M918T in the IIS4-S5 linker, have been identified in kdr and super-kdr pyrethroid-resistant phenotypes, respectively. Unlike their native insect counterparts, mammalian sodium channels are only weakly sensitive to pyrethroids. Do the sodium channels of mammal and pyrethroid-resistant housefly share similar structural...
