Cis-regulatory CYP6P9b P450 variants associated with loss of insecticide-treated bed net efficacy against Anopheles funestus

Bed nets treated with insecticides have been instrumental in reducing malaria mortality, but insecticide resistance is on the rise. Here, Mugenzi et al. identify genetic variants in the P450 gene CYP6P9b of Anopheles funestus that associate with insecticide resistance and develop a PCR-based diagnos...

description Bed nets treated with insecticides have been instrumental in reducing malaria mortality, but insecticide resistance is on the rise. Here, Mugenzi et al. identify genetic variants in the P450 gene CYP6P9b of Anopheles funestus that associate with insecticide resistance and develop a PCR-based diagnostic assay to help identify pyrethroid-resistant strains.
