Abstract excerpt
Esterase gene amplification at the Ester superlocus provides organophosphate resistance in the mosquito Culex pipiens (L.). In this study we explored the possibility of recombination between two amplified esterase alleles, thus generating a composite amplified allele. To do that, females heterozygous for two distinct amplified alleles (Ester(2) and Ester(4)) were crossed with males homozygous for a third...
