Metabolic resistance of the tiger mosquito to pyrethroid insecticides in La Réunion Island likely results from local adaptation
2025-08-07
Abstract excerpt
The resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides is a valuable model system for studying the genetic bases of xenobiotic adaptation in insects. The spread of the Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus combined to the massive use of pyrethroid insecticides to limit arbovirus transmission resulted in the rise of resistance in various continents. Here, we investigated the genetic mechanisms underlying the recent adaptati...
