Insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti poses a significant threat to disease control. One
form of resistance, caused by kdr mutations in the Na V gene, hinders vector control efforts in …

Traditional methods of vector control have proven insufficient to reduce the alarming
incidence of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya in endemic countries. The bacterium symbiont …

The continuous and indiscriminate use of insecticides has been responsible for the
emergence of insecticide resistant vector insect populations, especially in Aedes aegypti …

Abstract Background The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an urban vector of dengue and other
arboviruses. During epidemics of these viruses, pyrethroid insecticides are used for the …

Prevention and control of Aedes-borne viral diseases such as dengue rely on vector control,
including the use of insecticides and reduction of larval sources. However, this is threatened …

Aedes aegypti vectors the pathogens that cause dengue, yellow fever, Zika virus, and
chikungunya and is a serious threat to public health in tropical regions. Decades of work has …

Vector-borne diseases are a major source of morbidity in Panama. Herein, we describe
historical usage patterns of synthetic insecticides to control arthropod disease vectors in this …

From 2008 to 2017, the city of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire experienced several Aedes-borne
disease epidemics which required control of the vector mosquito population based on the …

Vector control largely relies on neurotoxic chemicals, and insecticide resistance (IR) directly
threatens their effectiveness. In some cases, specific alleles cause IR, and knowledge of the …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) use genetic polymorphism across the genomes
of individuals with distinct characteristics to identify genotype-phenotype associations. In …
