Evolution of kdr haplotypes in worldwide populations of Aedes aegypti: Independent origins of the F1534C kdr mutation. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and urban yellow fever. Insecticides are often the most effective tools to rapidly decrease the density of vector populations, especially during arbovirus disease outbreaks.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 BackgroundControl of Aedes aegypti, the mosquito vector of dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever, is a challenging task. Pyrethroid insecticides have emerged as a preferred choice for vector control but are threatened by the emergence of resistance.

First report of the Phe1534Cys kdr mutation in natural populations of Aedes albopictus from Brazil [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background Knockdown resistance (kdr), caused by alterations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV), is one of the mechanisms responsible for pyrethroid (PY) resistance.

First report of F1534C kdr mutation in deltamethrin resistant Aedes albopictus from northern part of West Bengal, India [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Dengue is the most rapidly spreading vector-borne disease with an estimated 100–400 million cases each year. Control of Dengue vectors largely depends upon synthetic pyrethroids.

Multiple origins of the sodium channel kdr mutations in codling moth populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Resistance to insecticides is one interesting example of a rapid current evolutionary change. DNA variability in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene (trans-membrane segments 5 and 6 in domain II) was investigated in order to estimate resistance ...

A new knockdown resistance (kdr) mutation, F1534L, in the voltage-gated sodium channel of Aedes aegypti, co-occurring with F1534C, S989P and V1016G [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Aedes aegypti is a primary vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika infections in India. In the absence of specific drugs or safe and effective vaccines for these infections, their control relies mainly on vector control measures.

The L1014F Kdr mutation is associated with a higher prevalence and load of the Plasmodium-blocking symbiont Microsporidia MB In Anopheles Gambiae s.l. In Benin [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyIntroduction The Plasmodium transmission-blocking endosymbiont Microsporidia MB was previously identified in Anopheles gambiae s.l., but its association with the carriage of the genotypes of the L1014F kdr mutation, as well as the ecological factors ...

Seasonal variation in species composition, deltamethrin susceptibility, and kdr mutations in anopheles mosquitoes in Northwest Ethiopia. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBackgroundAnopheles mosquitoes are the main vectors of malaria. Effective vector control depends on understanding their species composition, behavior, distribution, and insecticide resistance.

Sub-lethal insecticide exposure affects host biting efficiency of Kdr-resistant Anopheles gambiae
Peer Community Journal, 2021 The massive use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has drastically changed the environment for malaria vector mosquitoes, challenging their host-seeking behaviour and biting success.
