1 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aedes aegypti is the main vector of arboviruses in the Americas. Insecticide use remains the primary method for outbreak control, but prolonged application exerts selective pressure that promotes resistance. This study aimed to assess insecticide resistance and characterize key knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in Ae. aegypti populations from the Central District of Honduras. METHODS: Larvae were...
