Publication : The duplicated cytochrome P450 CYP6P9a/b confers cross-resistance to a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor in the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus», by Theofelix Tekoh & al.
Mosquito resistance to insecticides is one of the biggest threats to malaria control efforts. This study shows that the same genes (CYP6P9a/b) that allow the major African malaria vector Anopheles funestus, to be resistant to pyrethroid insecticides can also render them less sensitive to Sherlock, a new insecticide designed to target mosquito energy production.…
