An overview of insecticide resistance

Science. 2002 Oct 4;298(5591):96-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1078052.

Abstract

Insecticide resistance poses a serious threat to current malaria control efforts. The Anopheles gambiae genome will enable identification of new resistance genes and will provide new molecular targets for the design of more effective insecticides.
