High voltage-gated sodium channel gene diversity in Aedes albopictus across Brazil [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The invasive Aedes albopictus, commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito, has spread globally, posing public health risks because of its role as a secondary vector for arboviruses and capacity to transmit pathogens across sylvatic and urban cycles.

First large-scale assessment of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles darlingi (Diptera: Culicidae) in Brazil (2021-2024): a crucial step in informing decision-making in malaria control [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria continues to pose a significant public health threat in northern Brazil. Current control strategies for Anopheles darlingi, the primary malaria vector in the Amazon region, depend on long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor ...

Insecticide resistance and underlying targets-site and metabolic mechanisms in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from Lahore, Pakistan

Scientific Reports, 2021
Insecticide resistant Aedes populations have recently been reported in Pakistan, imposing a threat to their control. We aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus populations from Lahore to WHO-recommended insecticides and

Genetic structure and kdr mutations in Aedes aegypti populations along a road crossing the Amazon Forest in Amapá State, Brazil

Scientific Reports, 2023
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 Brazil.

Assessment of the susceptibility status of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) populations to pyriproxyfen and malathion in a nation-wide monitoring of insecticide resistance performed in Brazil from 2017 to 2018

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Chemical mosquito control using malathion has been applied in Brazil since 1985. To obtain chemical control effectiveness, vector susceptibility insecticide monitoring is required.

First national-scale evaluation of temephos resistance in Aedes aegypti in Peru

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The development of resistance against insecticides in Aedes aegypti can lead to operational failures in control programs. Knowledge of the spatial and temporal trends of this resistance is needed to drive effective monitoring campaigns, which ...
