Abstract excerpt
Deciphering the molecular drivers of insecticide resistance is paramount to extending the effectiveness of malaria vector control tools. Here, we demonstrate that a P450 haplotype spanning a Glu205→Asp (E205D) amino acid point mutation in the CYP6P3 gene drives pyrethroid insecticide resistance in the mosquito malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. Pooled whole-genome DNA sequencing data from A. gambiae mosquitoes...
