DNA alignment of the kdr region of VGSC gene of malaria vectors from Latin America. The alignment was constructed with partial DNA sequences for each species, and the aminoacid (AGa) and DNA (AG) sequences for An. gambiae were included as reference sequences [VectorBase: AGAP004707-RA]. Identical positions are indicated by an asterisk, primer positions are enclosed by an orange box, and the numbers above the amino acid sequence represent the codon position. Codon 995, which is associated with pyrethroid and DDT resistance (commonly reported as codon 1014, in reference to its position in the house fly Musca domestica), is highlighted in light blue, and it encodes the wildt-ype kdr allele (L995). AA, An. albimanus [VectorBase: AALB007478-RA]; AD, An. darlingi [VectorBase: ADAC011160-RA]; AP, An. pseudopunctipennis [GenBank: KX863726]; AV, An. vestitipennis [GenBank: KX907013]
