Insecticide resistance in larval populations of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from Panama

The control of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus is the most effective strategy for preventing the transmission of the arboviruses DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV. However, insecticide resistance threatens the sustainability of vector control programs. Monitoring insecticide resistance enable...

Electrochemical Evaluation of Polymer-Based Microelectrode Arrays: Analytical Performance on Oxygen and Hydrogen Peroxide

This study investigates the electrochemical properties of polymer-based microelectrode arrays (pMEAs) and their performance in measuring oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Morphological characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectro...
