Metabolic and target-site mechanisms combine to confer strong DDT resistance in Anopheles gambiae.

Metabolic and target-site mechanisms combine to confer strong DDT resistance in Anopheles gambiae.

The development of resistance to insecticides has become a classic exemplar of evolution occurring within human time scales. In this study we demonstrate how resistance to DDT in the major African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae is a result of both target-site resistance mechanisms that have introg...
