The Anopheles gambiae ATP‐binding cassette transporter family: phylogenetic analysis and tissue localization provide clues on function and role in insecticide resistance

The role of ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters in conferring insecticide resistance has received much attention recently. Here we identify ABC transporters differentially expressed in insecticide‐resistant populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae . Although we found little evidence that the orthologues of the multidrug resistance proteins described in other species are associated with resistance in An. gambiae we did identify a...
