Journal ArticleDOI
Acaricide resistance mechanisms in the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae and other important Acari: A review
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutathione S-transferases as antioxidant defence agents confer pyrethroid resistance in Nilaparvata lugens.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pyrethroids, in addition to their neurotoxic effect, induce oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in insects, and it is hypothesized that the main role of elevated GSTs in conferring resistance in N. lugens is through protecting tissues from oxidative damage.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the genomic basis of vectorial capacity and explore new avenues for vector control, sequenced the genomes of 16 anopheline mosquito species from diverse locations spanning ~100 million years of evolution Comparative analyses show faster rates of gene gain and loss, elevated gene shuffling on the X chromosome, and more intron losses, relative to Drosophila.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Overview of Insecticide Resistance
TL;DR: The Anopheles gambiae genome will enable identification of new resistance genes and will provide new molecular targets for the design of more effective insecticides.
