Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Culex quinquefasciatus resistance to the binary toxin from Lysinibacillus sphaericus larvicides can occur because of mutations in the cqm1 gene that prevents the expression of the toxin receptor, Cqm1 α-glucosidase. In a resistant laboratory-selected colony maintained for more than 250 generations, cqm1REC and cqm1REC-2 resistance alleles were identified. The major allele initially found, cqm1REC ,...
