Identification and validation of a gene causing cross-resistance between insecticide classes in <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> from Ghana
28 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
In the last decade there have been marked reductions in malaria incidence in sub-Saharan Africa. Sustaining these reductions will rely upon insecticides to control the mosquito malaria vectors. We report that in the primary African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, a single enzyme, CYP6M2, confers resistance to two classes of insecticide. This is unique evidence in a disease vector of...
