Happy to share access to the ECG groups latest paper "Chlorfenapyr metabolism by mosquito P450s associated with pyrethroid resistance identifies potential activation markers" ⁦@LSTMnews⁩ ⁦@LSTMvector⁩ ⁦@invectorcontrol⁩ https://t.co/rKOnRuFHck

[Martin Donnelly @MartinDonnelly8]

https://t.co/TNbIG4CHjQ More data from the LLINEUP trial. TLDR: significant increase in pyrethroid resistance marker frequency over time but no observed difference between arms.
