Soft selective sweeps predominate in the yellow fever mosquito <i>Aedes aegypti</i>

2025-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector for human arboviruses and zoonotic diseases and therefore poses a serious threat to public health. Understanding how Ae. aegypti adapts to environmental pressures—such as insecticides—is critical for developing effective mitigation strategies. However, most traditional methods for detecting recent positive selection search for signatures of classic “hard”...
