PUBLICATION: Genetic Diversity of Cytochrome P450s CYP6M2 and CYP6P4 Associated with Pyrethroid Resistance in the Major Malaria Vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae from Yaoundé, Cameroon By Yvan Fotso-Toguem & al

News

The rapid spread of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors populations is reducing the effectiveness of control tools. Elucidating the molecular basis of this resistance is vital to improve the control of these vectors. However, despite playing a major role, metabolic resistance remains poorly characterised. Here, we analysed the genetic variation of two cytochrome P450 genes,…
