Cyclic voltammetry of immobilized particles as an alternative pesticide screening method for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Résumé
Today, pest control by chemical treatment is the main strategy against pest insects. This article proposes to show how cyclic voltammetry of immobilized particles could be applied in the context of pest research by screening several compounds known to have an activity against a pest model as Aedes species. Aedes mosquitoes are vectors of many diseases that represent a threat to humans such as yellow fever and dengue fever in tropical environments. In order to develop innovative screening approaches for new pesticides we search molecules that can interact potentially with a pest model (Aedes species). We characterized electrochemically the mosquitoes using voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) method and analyze modifications on its characteristic signals in contact of insecticides.
