<i>Anopheles gambiae</i> P450 reductase is highly expressed in oenocytes and <i>in vivo</i> knockdown increases permethrin susceptibility
31 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
We describe an in vivo model for investigation of detoxification mechanisms of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, important for the development of malaria control programmes. Cytochrome P450s are involved in metabolic insecticide resistance and require NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) to function. Here we demonstrate that the major sites of adult mosquito CPR expression are oenocytes, mid-gut epithelia and head...
