Phosphorylation of Rab proteins from the brain of Bombyx mori.

abstract：:The larvae and adults of Aedes aegypti were tested for the potential to develop resistance to the synthetic pyrethroid, deltamethrin, alone or a combination of deltamethrin with the synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PBO). Although continuous larval selection for 40 generations resulted in 703-fold resistance, the resista...
