Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Improved understanding of the molecular basis of insecticide resistance may yield new opportunities for control of relevant disease vectors. In this current study, we investigated the quantification responses for the phenotypic and genotypic resistance of Aedes aegypti populations from different states in Malaysia. METHODS: We tested the insecticide susceptibility status of adult Ae. aegypti from...
