Abstract excerpt
Acetylcholinesterase (Ace) is the molecular target of organophosphate (OP) insecticides, and two mutations that confer different levels of OP insensitivity have previously been identified in the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae. Numerous sensitive and two insensitive alleles (including one convergent acquisition) are described from the entire worldwide distribution of the fly. Most of the variation is harbored in the...
