“…1) in segment 6 of domain II (IIS6) is associated with kdr and kdr-type resistance (Miyazaki et al, 1996;Williamson et al, 1996;Dong, 1997). Subsequently, the same mutation was found in other important insect pests, including diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Martinez-Torres et al, 1997), horn fly, Haematobia irritans (Guerrero et al, 1997), mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae and Culex pipiens (Martinez-Torres et al, 1998), aphids, Myzus persicae (Martinez-Torres et al, 1999), and Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Lee et al, 1999a). Conversely, in pyrethroid-resistant tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens), an L1029H mutation in IIS6 is associated with pyrethroid resistance .…”
