Abstract excerpt
Pyrethroid insecticides prolong the opening of insect sodium channels by binding to two predicted pyrethroid receptor sites (PyR), PyR1 and PyR2. Many naturally-occurring sodium channel mutations that confer pyrethroid resistance (known as knockdown resistance, kdr) are located at PyR1. Recent studies identified two new mutations, V253F and T267A, at PyR2, which co-exist with two well-known mutations F1534C or...
