Biochemical characterization of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) resistance to deltamethrin, fipronil, and imidacloprid.

Aedes aegypti is an important vector of dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever and yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus. The objective was to evaluate the resistance of A. aegypti exposed to insecticides with different action modes (deltamethrin, imidacloprid, and fipronil) under intense selection pressure for 10 generations in laboratory.
