Double Trouble With Insecticide-resistant Mosquitoes
Geneticists discover that insecticide resistance genes work together in mosquitoes, increasing their survival rate with important consequences for pest management. Mosquitoes harboring two insecticide-resistance genes have been found to survive unexpectedly well in an insecticide-free environment where carrying such genes would normally expected to be a burden. This results from the genes interacting with one another to the advantage of the host and to the detriment of pest management strategies affecting human health.
