The transcription factor Maf-S regulates metabolic resistance to insecticides in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

Abstract Background Malaria control in Africa is dependent upon the use insecticides but intensive use of a limited number of chemicals has led to resistance in mosquito populations. Increased production of enzymes that detoxify insecticides is one of the most potent resistance mechanisms. Several m...
