Development of the Incompatible Insect Technique targeting Aedes albopictus: introgression of a wild nuclear background restores the performance of males artificially infected with Wolbachia

This study shows that introgression of a wild genetic background into Wolbachia-infected Aedes albopictus males restores their fitness and mating competitiveness, enhancing the effectiveness of the Incompatible Insect Technique.

A genomic duplication spanning multiple P450s contributes to insecticide resistance in the dengue mosquito Aedes aegypti

This study identifies a genomic duplication of multiple P450 genes in Aedes aegypti that enhances deltamethrin resistance and reveals its evolutionary origin and fitness costs.

Combining genetic crosses and pool targeted DNA-seq for untangling genomic variations associated with resistance to multiple insecticides in the dengue vector Aedes aegypti

This study combines genetic crosses with targeted DNA sequencing to identify resistance alleles in multi-resistant Aedes aegypti mosquitoes exposed to insecticides.
