Population genetics of knockdown resistance (kdr) to pyrethroid insecticides in the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

The peach-potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) has developed resistance to pyrethroid insecticides as a result of two mutations in the para-type sodium channel protein: L1014F (kdr) and M918T (super-kdr).
