Dissecting the genetic basis of resistance to malaria parasites in Anopheles gambiae.

30 Sep 2009 The ability of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes to transmit Plasmodium parasites is highly variable between individuals. However, the genetic basis of this variability has remained unknown. We combined genome-wide mapping and reciprocal allele-specific ... Read more...

Esterase-mediated resistance to pyrethroids in field populations of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Central Africa.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Evolution of pyrethroid resistance in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) threatens continued cotton production in Central Africa. Dose-response bioassays were conducted on area-wide collection of ... Read more...

Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) cadherin fragments function as synergists for Cry1A and Cry1C Bacillus thuringiensis toxins against noctuid moths Helicoverpa zea, Agrotis ipsilon and Spodoptera exigua.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Specific Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) toxins are effective against a narrow spectrum of species. While specificity is an advantage for limiting adverse effects on non-target organisms, it is also the primary drawback of Bt's ... Read more...
