Abstract excerpt
Previous studies on a strain of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus from Saudi Arabia indicated permethrin resistance was a result of cytochrome P450 mediated detoxification and kdr. The P450 detoxification was found to be larval specific and associated with a fitness cost in certain environments. The P450 responsible for resistance (and the fitness cost) has not been identified, but recently two candidate P450s...
