Insecticide resistance and molecular characterization of knockdown resistance ( kdr ) in Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Sri Lanka
18 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to pyrethroids (PY) and organophosphate (OP) insecticides is widespread among populations of Culex quinquefasciatus, the major vector of lymphatic filariasis (LF). The present study was designed to detect the L1014F kdr (knockdown resistant) mutation among Cx. quinquefasciatus populations in the filarial belt of Sri Lanka. Mosquitoes were reared from field-caught larvae from seven localities where LF...
