ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between Wolbachia and deltamethrin resistance in Culex pipiens pal?lens. Methods PCR was used to detect Wolbachia in Culex pipiens pallens and qRT?PCR was performed to determine and compare the expression of Wolbachia between deltamethrin?resistant and ?susceptible strains of Culex pipiens pallens. Re?sults Wolbachia was detected in Culex pipiens pallens in the laboratory. The expression of Wolbachia was 18.42 3.69 4.43 3.96 6.31 1.55 and 3.76 folds higher in the deltamethrin?resistant strain than in susceptible strain in the egg 1st 2nd 3rd 4th stages, and male and female adults, but there was no statistical difference in the pupae stage. The expression of Wolbachia was 2.64 folds higher in deltamethrin?resistant females than in susceptible females which were caught in Jiangxinzhou of Nan?jing. Conclusion Wolbachia is associated with deltamethrin resistance in Culex pipines pallens.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of deltamethrin resistant strain of Anopheles anthropophagus. Methods The study was performed with LC-P curve method for the genetic mode of deltamethrin resistant of An. anthropophagus. Results The resistant coefficient of F_1 generation from cross and reciprocal cross were 15.19 and 16. 66 respectively. The LC-P curve of F_1 generation got near to that of resistant parents (D=0.651). There were no obvious platforms in 50% mortality of BC generation and 25% - 75% mortality of F_2 generation.There were significant differences between the determining curve and theoretical cure in both BC and F_2 generations, P
