Selection for, and characterization of, malathion and zeta-cypermethrin resistance in vineyard-collected Drosophila melanogaster.

Resistance to zeta-cypermethrin is most likely due to enhanced detoxification, while the results with malathion were associated with two Ace alleles. How the newly selected strains can facilitate diagnostic tools for the identification of the mutations causing the resistance is discussed. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
