Distribution of knock-down resistance mutations in Anopheles gambiae molecular forms in west and west-central Africa

BACKGROUND: Knock-down resistance (kdr) to DDT and pyrethroids in the major Afrotropical vector species, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, is associated with two alternative point mutations at amino acid position 1014 of the voltage-gated sodium channel gene, resulting in either a leucine-phenylalani...
