Biochemical characterization of cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP6P9) involvement in insecticide resistance in the major malaria vector Anopheles funestus
Anopheles funestus is one of three major malaria vectors in Africa. During 2000 malaria cases increased in Kwazulu/Natal, South Africa. This was a result of pyrethroid resistance in this vector. Biochemical studies showed elevated levels of Cytochrome P450 (monooxygenases) in the resistant mosqui...
