Tracing the Genetic Origins of Insecticide Resistance in Malaria-Transmitting Mosquitoes (1 of 2)

image: A photo showing a malaria mosquito resting on an insecticide-treated bednet because of the resistance it has developed through the novel P450 resistance marker described by Weedall et al. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Mar. 20, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by G.D. Weedall at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in Liverpool, UK; and colleagues was titled, "A cytochrome P450 allele confers pyrethroid resistance on a major African malaria vector reducing insecticide-treated bednet efficacy." view more
