DOI: 10.1155/2021/8874092
Abstract: Background Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used in many countries for chemical-based control of Ae. aegypti. Regardless of their efficacy, the constant use of insecticides has induced insecticide resistance mechanisms, such as knockdown resistance (kdr) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0008492
Abstract: 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 genetic diversity and gene flow among mosquito populations is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010001
Abstract: Introduction In Colombia, organochloride, organophosphate, carbamate, and pyrethroid insecticides are broadly used to control Aedes aegypti populations. However, Colombian mosquito populations have shown variability in their susceptibility profiles to these insecticides, with some expressing high… read more here.

A decade of stability for wMel Wolbachia in natural Aedes aegypti populations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS Pathogens"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010256
Abstract: Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia endosymbionts are being released in many countries for arbovirus control. The wMel strain of Wolbachia blocks Aedes-borne virus transmission and can spread throughout mosquito populations by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13060536
Abstract: Simple Summary Aedes aegypti is a mosquito that transmits viruses responsible for several diseases in humans, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. It is crucial to study mosquito populations from different countries and regions because… read more here.
