  Research into resistance mechanisms of DDT in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster in a resistant population (91-R) compared to susceptible (CS) using RNAi. Analysis of effects of RNAi on cuticular penetaion by mortality bioassays for DDT susceptibility determination, GC-FID analysis of cuticular hydrocarbons, and qPCR for gene level expression.
