Allelic Survey and Population Genomics in a Hotspot of Diflubenzuron Resistance in the Mosquito Culex pipiens

Abstract excerpt

The long-term efficacy of vector control programs is seriously hampered by the evolution of insecticide resistance. In this scenario, assessing the distribution, frequency, and drivers of resistance spread is crucial to planning effective control programs. Here, we addressed these issues in the mosquito Culex pipiens, focusing on the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy), a known hotspot of diflubenzuron (DFB)...
