First report of the Phe1534Cys kdr mutation in natural populations of Aedes albopictus from Brazil

Abstract Background Knockdown resistance (kdr), caused by alterations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV), is one of the mechanisms responsible for pyrethroid (PY) resistance. In the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, at least four different mutations were described in the IIIS6 NaV segme...
