Temporal Pattern of Mutations in the Knockdown Resistance () Gene of Mosquitoes Sampled from Southern Taiwan.

mosquitoes are the principal dengue vector in Taiwan, where the use of insecticides is a key element in the national control strategy. However, control efforts are constrained by the development of resistance to most insecticides, including pyrethroids. In this study, mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene resulting in knockdown resistance () were examined in .
