Article Synopsis
- * Researchers studied 541 Ae. albopictus specimens from the Yangtze River Basin in China to analyze genetic mutations linked to insecticide resistance, focusing on the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene.
- * Their findings revealed multiple genotypes of kdr mutations, particularly significant variations at the 1016 locus and other loci, indicating diverse genetic backgrounds among mosquito populations in different regions.
