A study published in Parasites & Vectors reports on the widespread presence in Europe of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, a dengue and chikungunya virus vector, with the V1016G mutation associated with insecticide resistance.
and Afrotropical malaria vectors species has proven to be instrumental to trigger pyrethroid resistance management plans to slow down or reverse resistance spreading [on a continental scale in Europe.
On the one hand, results show that the very high frequencies previously reported from Italy are unparalleled in other European countries, consistently with a more extensive and/or protracted pyrethroid selective pressure in Italy. On the other hand, the presence of the 1016G allele in European populations both west and east of Italy represents a wake-up call for mosquito surveillance programs and highlights the need to include the monitoring of pyrethroid resistance in their activities.
Finally, the interactive map made available in this study includes all data so far available on 1016G allele distribution in Europe and will be updated with results from future genotyping studies on this and otheralleles.
