MiR-279-3p regulates deltamethrin resistance through CYP325BB1 in Culex pipiens pallens [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background The overuse of insecticides to control insect vectors has promoted extensive insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. In this study, the functions of microRNA (miR)-279-3p and its target CYP325BB1 in the regulation of deltamethrin resistance in ...

CPR63 promotes pyrethroid resistance by increasing cuticle thickness in Culex pipiens pallens [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2022 The cuticle protein (CP) encoded by CPR63 plays a role in deltamethrin resistance in Culex pipiens pallens. Herein, we investigated the distribution of CPR63 transcripts in this organism and observed high expression levels in legs and wings. Furthermore,
