Widespread Distribution of <i>chs-1</i> Mutations Associated with Resistance to Diflubenzuron Larvicide in <i>Culex pipiens</i> Across Italy, Reaching Virtual Fixation in the Venetian Lagoon

Control interventions against mosquito larvae are the primary measure to reduce the adult abundance and risk of arbovirus outbreaks in Europe. One of the most commonly used larvicides in Italy is diflubenzuron (DFB), which targets chitin synthase 1 (<i>chs-1</i>), interrupting the normal...
