Allelic variation and multigenic metabolic activity of cytochrome P450s confer insecticide resistance in field populations of Anopheles funestus s.s., a major malaria vector in Africa

Malaria control relies heavily on the use of insecticides, especially the pyrethroids, for control interventions such as Long Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) and Indoor Residual Spraying (ITNs). However, widespread resistance to insecticides in major malaria vectors, such as An. funestus is threate...
