93 - Genetics of pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles darlingi, the main malaria vector

Location: 202
Abstract: Insecticide resistance poses a challenge in controlling Anopheles darlingi, the main malaria vector in the Brazilian Amazon. While resistance mechanisms are well-studied in Asian and African anophelines, little is known about An. darlingi. This project aims to identify pyrethroid resistance mechanisms in Brazilian populations using genomic and transcriptomic methods, followed by validation through gene silencing and editing techniques. The findings will support molecular surveillance of insecticide resistance in An. darlingi.
