Abstract:Pyrethroid resistance is now expanding in the two main arboviruses vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from Cameroon. Although recent studies suggested the implication of target site (kdr) resistance and overexpression of detoxification enzymes as key mechanisms, the implication of additional mechanisms such as cuticular resistance has not been investigated. The present study assesses the possible implication of cuticle in Aedes species resistance to pyrethroids. High cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) content… Show more
