Publication: A COEAE80 esterase variant and P450-suppression drive chlorfenapyr resistance in malaria vectors

This study, led by Dr Magellan Tchouakui, a Wellcome Trust fellow at the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID), investigates how mosquitoes transmitting malaria adapt to “chlorfenapyr”, a novel insecticide used in new generation bed nets. The team identified a gene called COEAE80 that helps mosquitoes survive chlorfenapyr, especially when detoxification gene families like…
