CYP6P9-Driven Signatures of Selective Sweep of Metabolic Resistance to Pyrethroids in the Malaria Vector <i>Anopheles funestus</i> Reveal Contemporary Barriers to Gene Flow

CYP6P9-Driven Signatures of Selective Sweep of Metabolic Resistance to Pyrethroids in the Malaria Vector <i>Anopheles funestus</i> Reveal Contemporary Barriers to Gene Flow

Pyrethroid resistance in major malaria vectors such as <i>Anopheles funestus</i> threatens malaria control efforts in Africa. Cytochrome P450-mediated metabolic resistance is best understood for <i>CYP6P9</i> genes in southern Africa in <i>An. funestus</i>. Howeve...
