Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Polymorphism and Metabolic Resistance in Pyrethroid-Resistant Aedes aegypti from Brazil
1 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The nature of pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti Brazilian populations was investigated. Quantification of enzymes related to metabolic resistance in two distinct populations, located in the Northeast and Southeast regions, revealed increases in Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and Esterase levels. Additionally, polymorphism was found in the IIS6 region of Ae. aegypti voltage-gated sodium channel (AaNa(V)),...
