The juvenile hormone receptor Methoprene-tolerant is involved in the sterilizing effect of pyriproxyfen on adult <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2020-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Exposure of adult mosquitoes to pyriproxyfen (PPF), an analog of insect juvenile hormone (JH), has shown promise to effectively sterilize female mosquitoes. However, the underlying mechanisms of the PPF-induced decrease in mosquito fecundity are largely unknown. We performed a comprehensive study to dissect the mode of PPF action in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Exposure to PPF prompted the overgrowth of primary foll...
