Resistance to Bacillus sphaericus Involves Different Mechanisms in Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) Larvae
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Field Culex pipiens pipiens (L.) mosquitoes that were collected after a control failure with Spherimos in southern France developed high resistance (> 10,000-fold) to Bacillus sphaericus crystal toxin after < 8 generations of laboratory selection. We show that this resistance is encoded by a single major recessive gene on linkage group I at 22.1 recombination units from the sex locus, and that it is not...
