Evidence for gene duplication in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene of Aedes aegypti

Herein, we show the first evidence of a duplication of the NaV gene of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, that might be involved in insecticide resistance. The duplicated haplotype is composed of one sequence with and another without a specific mutation, present in natural populations as a polymorphic trai...
