Genetic variations in three insecticide targets in the disease vector Culex quinquefasciatus from Mianyang, China: simultaneous detection of novel mutations RDL A296G and VGSC A1007T.

Abstract excerpt

Culex quinquefasciatus is a major vector of filariasis and Japanese encephalitis in China. The application of insecticides is a regular measure for prevention and control of such mosquito-borne diseases. However, insecticide resistance, often caused by target-site mutations, threatens control efforts. In Mianyang City, a region previously reporting high pyrethroid resistance, the current genetic basis of...
