Abstract

Insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), the primary vector of several arboviruses, threatens vector control efficacy and motivates evaluation of current and candidate public health insecticides, such as imidacloprid and broflanilide, and their molecular impacts. Here, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterize the transcriptomic response to one-hour acute exposure to an operational partial-mortality concentration (
