Examples
-
But the malaria-carrying Anopheles funestus mosquito proved resistant to deltamethrine early on, and the resultant increases in fatalities due to malaria necessitated the reintroduction of DDT, which continues to be used.

-
Deforestation in West Africa led to a replacement of Anopheles funestus populations by Anopheles gambiae populations, and to a sharp increase in incidence.

-
Anopheles funestus mosquito and identified a family of genes coding for enzymes known as cytochrome P450s, detecting two genes which were associated with resistance to pyrethroid insecticide.
-
The researchers found two cytochrome P450 genes in An. funestus that are associated with pyrethroid resistance.

An. funestus that are both susceptible and resistant to pyrethroids, and narrowed down the potential genetic culprits to members of a family of genes coding for enzymes known as cytochrome P450s.
-
This report of genetic markers that can be used to predict insecticide resistance in laboratory populations of An. funestus may be a landmark finding in malaria prevention when applied to the evaluation of wild mosquito populations.
