Fitness Costs of the Glutathione <i>S</i>-Transferase Epsilon 2 (L119F-GSTe2) Mediated Metabolic Resistance to Insecticides in the Major African Malaria Vector <i>Anopheles Funestus</i>

Fitness Costs of the Glutathione <i>S</i>-Transferase Epsilon 2 (L119F-GSTe2) Mediated Metabolic Resistance to Insecticides in the Major African Malaria Vector <i>Anopheles Funestus</i>

Metabolic resistance to insecticides threatens malaria control. However, little is known about its fitness cost in field populations of malaria vectors, thus limiting the design of suitable resistance management strategies. Here, we assessed the association between the glutathione <i>S</i&g...
