RNA-seq of 6 Aedes albopictus mosquito lines from La Réunion island with contrasted resistance to the pyrethroid insecticide deltamethrin
Gene expression changes were investigated between six mosquito lines originating from La Reunion Island and correlated with their differential deltamethrin resistance levels. Two of these 6 lines derived from a composite population made by pooling six distinct field populations from La Reunion Island: the Sel line was subjected to deltamethrin selection for five successive generations at the adult stage while the NS line was maintained without selection. Three field populations collected in 2018-2029 in three distinct localities (SL: Saint-Louis, SP: Saint Pierre, SS: Sainte-Suzanne) were also used. Finally, the susceptible line SRun originating collected in the early 2000s from La Réunion island and maintained in the laboratory since then was also used as a reference. For each line, four replicate transcriptomes were generated from 5-days old non-blood fed adult females.
