The selection and genetic analysis of esterase electromorphs in an organophosphate-resistant strain of Culex pipiens from Italy.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Dec 1993

Callaghan A, Hemingway J, Malcolm C A

Abstract excerpt

An Italian organophosphate-resistant strain of Culex pipiens (Lucca) was found to be polymorphic for elevated and nonelevated esterases. Selection for high esterase activity produced a strain homozygous for elevated esterases A2 and B2. Selection for low activity produced a strain homozygous for nonelevated esterases, A4i and B1i. Crossing experiments showed that A2 and B2 are coded by separate but closely linked...
