Abstract excerpt
Development of insecticide resistance reduces the efficacy of controlling measures against the medical and agricultural insect pests. Cytochrome P450s are one of the major detoxification enzymes involved in insecticide metabolisms. Previously, we have reported that the P450 gene Cyp9m10 is about 260-fold overexpressed in a pyrethroid-resistant strain of Culex quinquefasciatus compared to a susceptible strain. In...
