188 - Metabolic Responses in Aedes aegypti: Insights into Post-Feeding and Insecticide Exposure Dynamics

Wednesday, March 5, 2025
4:30 PM – 4:40 PM AST
Location: 202
Abstract: Aedes aegypti, a key vector for arboviruses, faces rising insecticide resistance, requiring new control strategies. This study examines metabolic changes in two Ae. aegypti strains (New Orleans [ susceptible] and Apodaca [resistant]) after insecticide exposure and at different intervals following blood feeding (24, 48, and 72 hours). By quantifying 12 amino acids and 25 acylcarnitines, the research reveals critical metabolic adaptations related to feeding and insecticide exposure, offering potential targets to improve strategies against insecticide resistance in vector populations.
