Fine-scale spatial and temporal dynamics of kdr haplotypes in Aedes aegypti from Mexico

BACKGROUND: As resistance to insecticides increases in disease vectors, it has become exceedingly important to monitor populations for susceptibility. Most studies of field populations of Aedes aegypti have largely characterized resistance patterns at the spatial scale of the city or country, which may not be completely informative given that insecticide application occurs at the scale of the house or city block....
