Scientists at Rothamsted Research and ApresLabs Ltd have demonstrated that SYN-A, a naturally derived synergist extracted ...

A new study has detected a DNA marker in a gene encoding a key enzyme known as cytochrome P450 that helps mosquitoes to break down and survive exposure to pyrethroids, the main insecticides used for ...

NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) has confirmed the first case of Varroa mite pyrethroid resistance in the state ...

A new study, jointly led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID) in Cameroon, has detected a DNA marker in a gene encoding for a key enzyme, ...

Scientists have discovered a new genetic mutation in mosquitoes that helps them to resist insecticides, a major hurdle to malaria prevention efforts across Africa.

The mosquito resistance study was conducted in the northwestern section of Colombia, an area that the researchers describe as having “eco-epidemiological conditions that facilitate the persistence of ...

A mutation that causes resistance to pyrethroid insecticides—used in mosquito bed nets—was identified in the Anopheles gambiae mosquito.
