Mutation Frequencies in Aedes aegypti After Cypermethrin Exposure

Field-collected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were exposed to cypermethrin. The dataset contains mutation frequencies for alleles R52H, D126N, P162H, and A532E, comparing live and dead insects. Han-Hsuan Chung published the data on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze allele frequency differences between surviving and deceased mosquitoes based on mutation data.
• Study the association between specific genetic mutations and insecticide resistance based on cypermethrin exposure.
• Compare the prevalence of wild-type versus mutant alleles across four loci based on the described R52H, D126N, P162H, and A532E mutations.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The dataset focuses on four specific mutations (R52H, D126N, P162H, A532E) in a key public-health vector.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
