Assessing the occurrence of resistant alleles and understanding their origin across the geographic range of vector species is crucial for effective resistance management. In populations of the mosquito Culex pipiens, point mutations conferring resistance to the insecticide diflubenzuron (DFB) were recently found across the Mediterranean basin. In this study, we investigated the possible occurrence of DFB resistance in Cyprus, where West Nile virus outbreaks have been documented in recent years. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/35648 | ISSN: | 1756-3305 | DOI: | 10.1186/s13071-025-06889-7 | Rights: | © The Author(s) 2025. | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology University of Rome University of West Attica Centro Agricoltura Ambiente “G.
