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. One type of resistance is caused by alterations in the Na v gene, known as kdr mutations. In Brazil, different kdr haplotypes are present in Ae. aegypti and they may impede vector control operations based on pyrethroids. Although natu...
