Novel ddPCR diagnostic assays for the high-throughput surveillance of <i>Kdr</i> mutations in <i>Aedes albopictus</i>
2026-08-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Resistance of the arbovirus vector Aedes albopictus to pyrethroid insecticides is an emerging threat to vector control programs in Europe. Three knock-down resistance (’ Kdr ’) mutations affecting the voltage-gated sodium channels targeted by pyrethroids are known to confer resistance: V1016G, I1532T and F1534C . As these Kdr mutations are actively circulating in Europe, their monitoring...
