Identification of putative promoter elements for epsilon glutathione s-transferases genes associated with resistance to DDT in the malaria vector mosquito anopheles arabiensis.

The purpose of this study was to identify the putative regulatory elements in the promoter region of strains which differed in susceptibility to DDT and compare with those identified in its sibling . Basal expression level of Epsilon class GSTs (Glutathione S - transferases) GSTe1 gene was 0.512 - 0.

Biochemical Mechanism of Insecticide Resistance in Malaria Vector, s.l in Nigeria.

Background: Malaria is a parasitic vector-borne disease endemic in the tropical and subtropical countries of the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the current activities of the detoxification enzymes in resistant and susceptible s.l.
