Preliminary study on underlying biochemical mechanism of insecticide resistance of Aedes albopictus in Thiruvarur district, Tamil Nadu, India

摘要: Major vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in India transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes are dengue, and chikungunya. Until a suitable vaccine is available, vector control is the main option to prevent or reduce transmission of the disease. Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti are known to cause arboviral diseases. In the current study, Ae. albopictus mosquitoes from Thiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu, India were investigated for the susceptibility status to various insecticides. Further, an attempt was made to understand the biochemical and …
