Aedes aegypti miRNA-33 modulates permethrin induced toxicity by regulating VGSC transcripts
Abstract Aedes aegypti is a major vector of Zika, dengue, and other arboviruses. Permethrin adulticidal spraying, which targets the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC), is commonly done to reduce local mosquito populations and protect humans from exposure to arbovirus pathogens transmitted by this d...
