Figure 2

Amino acid sequence comparison of kdr region of Anopheles albimanus with other anopheline species. The sequence of the segment 6 of domain II of the VGSC gene of An. albimanus was compared to An. gambiae [GenBank: CAA73920] and An. punctipennis [GenBank: AAP60053]. Identical positions are indicated by an asterisk and mutation site (codon 1014) is enclosed by a red box. The amino acid at the mutation site corresponds to the pyrethroid and DDT susceptible (wild-type) genotypes.
