Biochemical resistance to insecticide in Bemisia tabaci field population from Burkina Faso, West Africa
Drabo Samuel Fogné & Coulibaly Y. Ahmed & Romba Rahim & Balboné Mahamoudou & Gnankiné Olivier
Insecticides are commonly used in greenhouses or fields to control Bemisia tabaci populations
leading to rapid evolution of resistance that make treatments inefficient. This resistance can be mediated by
molecular and/or biochemical mechanisms. Here, we
propose to determine the detoxifying enzymes involved
in B. tabaci resistance and to es(...)
