The voltage-sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) is a critical component of the insect nervous
system. Pyrethroids and DDT are insecticides that have been widely used, and they kill …

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 …

Background Aedes aegypti, vector of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses, is found at
high densities in tropical urban areas. The dissemination of this vector is partially the …

Invasive species are increasingly threatening ecosystems and agriculture by rapidly
expanding their range and adapting to environmental and human‐imposed selective …

Background Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors of a variety of emerging viral pathogens,
including yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus. This species has established …

with knockdown resistance (kdr) to DDT and pyrethroid insecticides in a major human …

Pyrethroid-treated clothing is commonly worn for protection against mosquitoes; pyrethroids
are both insecticides and repellents. Pyrethroid resistance has become increasingly …

Background The use of synthetic insecticides is one of the most common strategies for
controlling disease vectors such as mosquitos. However, their overuse can result in serious …

Insecticide resistance is currently a threat to the control of Aedes agypti, the main vector of
