RECONSIDERATION OF IMPORTANCE OF THE POINT MUTATION L982W IN THE VOLTAGE-SENSITIVE SODIUM CHANNEL OF THE PYRETHROID RESISTANT AEDES AEGYPTI (L.)(DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) IN VIETNAM.

Reconsideration of importance of the point mutation L982W in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel of the pyrethroid resistant Aedes aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae) in Vietnam.

Pyrethroid resistance Mag Pouches in Aedes aegypti is widespread in southern Vietnam because the photostable 2nd generation pyrethroids have been used in large amounts over extensive areas for malaria and dengue vector control.In our previous report in 2009, F1534C, one of the point mutations in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) in Ae.aeg

A whole genome screen for HIV restriction factors

Abstract Background Upon cellular entry retroviruses must avoid innate restriction factors produced by the host cell.For human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) human restriction factors, APOBEC3 (apolipoprotein-B-mRNA-editing-enzyme), p21 and Faux Tweed Coats tetherin are well characterised.Results To identify intrinsic resistance factors to HIV-1 repl
