Pyrethroid and organochlorine susceptibility in Aedes aegypti populations from eastern black sea region, Turkiye: traces in the kdr gene region of the species origin.

ABSTRACT: Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus 1762) is a significant public health concern in both its native and invaded regions because of the transmission of arboviruses. Target-site mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc) gene, commonly referred to as knockdown resistance (kdr), represent the most extensively studied mechanism underlying pyrethroid resistance. Therefore, we aimed to assess possible pyrethroid and organochlorine resistance levels, knockdown resistance, and mutation types known to contribute to the resistance profile in the Black Sea region of Türkiye in 2020. Bioassay results showed that all field populations, as well as the Bora Bora laboratory strain, were susceptible and predominantly carried wild-type genotypes. For kdr, all samples were wild type for the V410L, L982W, S989P
