The unique mutation in <i>ace‐1</i> giving high insecticide resistance is easily detectable in mosquito vectors
16 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
High insecticide resistance resulting from insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has emerged in mosquitoes. A single mutation (G119S of the ace-1 gene) explains this high resistance in Culex pipiens and in Anopheles gambiae. In order to provide better documentation of the ace-1 gene and the effect of the G119S mutation, we present a three-dimension structure model of AChE, showing that this unique substitution...
