Aedes aegypti Transcriptome in strain resistant to Temephos

Resistance to organophosphate compounds is a serious problem in the control of mosquito vectors. Despite extensive literature on insecticide resistance, the molecular basis of metabolic resistance is still poorly understood.To order to better understand the mechanisms of Aedes aegypti temephos resistance, we performed RNA sequencing on the midgut tissue of Aedes aegypti larvae from a resistant strain (RecR) and from a susceptible colony (RecL).
