Relationship between insecticide resistance and kdr mutations in the dengue vector Aedes aegypti in Southern China

Abstract: BackgroundAedes aegypti is an important vector for dengue virus and thus has been targeted with pyrethroid insecticides in many areas of the world. As such, resistance has been detected to several of these insecticides, including in China, but the mechanisms of the resistance are not well understood in this country.MethodsUsing the World Health Organization larval mosquito bioassay, five field populations of Aedes aegypti from Southern China were characterized for their resistance to cypermethrin and cyhalothr… Show more

“…The present study reveals the co-occurrence of L1014S and L1014F mutations coupled with high insecticide resistance in the two Anopheline populations belonging to agricultural and residential settings in northwest Nigeria suggesting the spreading of the L1014S mutation gene across Africa. The high allelic frequencies recorded in the residential sites could be due to the increased use of pyrethroids for ITNs and IRS in public health as indicated in previous studies (Dykes et al 2015;Li et al 2015). The co-occurrence of the L1014S and L1014F mutations has already been reported in An.…”

“…In Asia, V1016G has been found with S989P in Thailand and Malaysia, V1016G and F1534C in Singapore, S989P, V1016G and F1534C in China, Thailand, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, and T1520I with F1534C in India. 14,15,[29][30][31][32][33][34] In the Americas, the co-occurrence of V1016I and F1534C has been found in the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela and the USA; in Africa, the co-occurrence of V1016I and F1534C in Ghana has been reported. 31,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41] In conclusion, we report here the co-occurrence of mutations V1016I and F1534C in populations of A. aegypti of the Colombian Caribbean region with variation in its allelic and genotypic frequencies.…”

“…This haplotype is commonly found in Ae. aegypti [6, 13, 16, 17, 33] but not in South America where the haplotype V1016I is mainly dominating [34]. Conversely, the haplotype F1534C is much less frequently found in Aedes populations when compared to V1016G and S989P genes.…”
