First report of a kdr mutation in Anopheles arabiensis from Burkina Faso, West Africa

A Diabaté et al. J Am Mosq Control Assoc. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

The leu-phe kdr mutation was detected in a specimen of Anopheles arabiensis during an extensive survey of pyrethroid resistance in An. gambiae s.l. in Burkina Faso. The detection of this mutation in An. arabiensis, which had so far been observed only in An. gambiae s.s., is important at both epidemiologic and fundamental levels. It can be useful to understand the history of this gene throughout the range of An. gambiae complex.
