Reconsideration of importance of the point mutation L982W in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel of the pyrethroid resistant Aedes aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae) in Vietnam.

Abstract excerpt

Pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti is widespread in southern Vietnam because the photostable 2nd generation pyrethroids have been used in large amounts over extensive areas for malaria and dengue vector control. In our previous report in 2009, F1534C, one of the point mutations in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) in Ae. aegypti, was widespread at high frequency in south and central area.
