Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are aBC transporters involved in defense against permethrin insecticide in the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi?
Answer: Our results show for the first time the involvement of ABC transporters in larval defense against permethrin in An. stephensi and, more in general, confirm the role of ABC transporters in insecticide defense. The differences observed with previous studies highlight the need of further research as, despite the growing number of studies on ABC transporters in insects, the heterogeneity of the results available at present does not allow us to infer general trends in ABC transporter-insecticide interactions.
Output (English): yes
