Differences in Development, Glycogen, and Lipid Content Associated With Cytochrome P450-Mediated Permethrin Resistance in Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Abstract excerpt

Insecticide resistance in populations of mosquitoes is an escalating problem that can directly affect disease prevalence. Determining the fitness associated with an insecticide resistance mechanism (allele) will provide for greater understanding of the evolution of resistance, and help inform effective vector management programs. Previously, a population cage experiment in which the alleles of two highly related...
