Abstract: In this project, we evaluated the differential gene expression of Aedes aegypti (the dengue mosquito), comparing two strains: a wild-type and a susceptible one. Four experimental conditions were established: before and after exposure to the insecticide Broflanilide. Transcriptomic analysis identified genes associated with resistance mechanisms, detoxification, and stress response. These findings provide relevant insights into the vector’s adaptation to new insecticides and contribute to strengthening public health strategies for Ae. aegypti control.
