Estimation of allele-specific Ace-1 duplication in insecticide-resistant Anopheles mosquitoes from West Africa
1 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identification of variation in Ace-1 copy number and G119S mutation genotype from samples of Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii across West Africa are important diagnostics of carbamate and organophosphate resistance at population and individual levels. The most widespread and economical method, PCR-RFLP, suffers from an inability to discriminate true heterozygotes from heterozygotes with...
