HIGH WOLBACHIA DENSITY CORRELATES WITH COST OF INFECTION FOR INSECTICIDE RESISTANT CULEX PIPIENS MOSQUITOES
2006-02-01
Abstract excerpt
In the mosquito Culex pipiens, insecticide resistance genes alter many life‐history traits and incur a fitness cost. Resistance to organophosphate insecticides involves two loci, with each locus coding for a different mechanism of resistance (degradation vs. insensitivity to insecticides). The density of intracellular Wolbachia bacteria has been found to be higher in resistant mosquitoes, regardless of the mechani...
