A simple colorimetric assay for specific detection of glutathione-S transferase activity associated with DDT resistance in mosquitoes.
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-based methods represent the most effective means of blocking the transmission of vector borne diseases. However, insecticide resistance poses a serious threat and there is a need for tools, such as diagnostic tests for resistance detection, that will improve the sustainabilit...
