Molecular Analysis of aparaSodium Channel Gene from Pyrethroid-Resistant Head Lice,Pediculus humanus capitis(Anoplura: Pediculidae)
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The problem of pyrethroid-resistance in head lice, Pediculus humanus capitis (De Geer), is growing worldwide, and an insensitive sodium channel is suspected as the major mechanism of this resistance. We sequenced an open reading frame (ORF) encoding for the para-orthologous sodium channel from an insecticide-susceptible strain of the body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus (L.), based on conserved peptide sequences...
