Abstract excerpt
Aedes aegypti is responsible for transmitting a variety of arboviral infectious diseases such as dengue and chikungunya. Insecticides, particularly pyrethroids, are used widely for mosquito control. However, intensive used of pyrethroids has led to the selection of kdr mutations on sodium channels. L982W, locating in the PyR1 (Pyrethroid receptor site 1), was first reported in Ae. aegypti populations collected...
