Previous studies on a strain of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus from Saudi Arabia indicated permethrin resistance was a result of cytochrome P450 mediated detoxification and kdr. The P450 detoxification was found to be larval specific and associated with a fitness cost in certain environments. The P450 responsible for resistance (and the fitness cost) has not been identified, but recently two candidate P450s (CYP4H34 and CYP9M10) have been found. We measured cytochrome P450 and cytochrome b₅ content as well as the expression levels of CYP4H34 and CYP9M10 in a susceptible (SLAB) and two isogenic strains (isolated by repeated backcrossing and selection) of mosquito (ISOP450 and ISOJPAL) resistant to permethrin. Cytochrome P450 protein levels of the resistant strains were significantly higher (1.5‐fold) than SLAB, but were not significantly different from one another. Expression of CYP4H34 in the larvae and adults of the resistant (ISOP450 and ISOJPAL) and susceptible (SLAB) strains were not statistically different. CYP9M10 was found to be significantly over‐expressed in larvae of both permethrin‐resistant isogenic strains (1800‐fold in ISOP450 and 870‐fold in ISOJPAL) when compared to SLAB. Partial sequence analysis of CYP9M10 revealed eight polymorphic sites that distinguished the susceptible allele from the resistant allele. We conclude that CYP9M10 is linked to permethrin resistance in these strains of C. p. quinquefasciatus, and is likely to be the P450 gene responsible for resistance in these strains.
