A ticket to ride: genetic structure and <i>kdr</i> mutations in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> populations along a road crossing the Amazon Rainforest in Amapá State, Brazil
2023-06-06
Abstract excerpt
Insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti is a major threat to the control of this mosquito species that transmits viruses that cause diseases like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.
