Transcriptome response to pollutants and insecticides in the dengue vector Aedes aegypti using next-generation sequencing technology

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The control of mosquitoes transmitting infectious diseases relies mainly on the use of chemical insecticides. However, mosquito control programs are now threatened by the emergence of insecticide resistance. Hitherto, most research efforts have been focused on elucidating the molecular basis of inherited resistance. Less attention has been paid to the short-term response of mosquitoes to insecticides...
