Transcriptome and Microbiome Analysis of Insecticide-Resistant Aedes albopictus from China

Integrated transcriptomic and microbiome data from Aedes albopictus mosquito populations collected in Guangdong and Hainan provinces, China, to study insecticide resistance mechanisms. The dataset includes results from bioassays, kdr mutation detection, and 16S rRNA sequencing, authored by Lifang Liu and last updated in April 2026. It is a 664.1 KB DOCX file containing analysis tables.

Use Cases

• Correlating gut microbiome composition with insecticide resistance levels based on 16S rRNA sequencing data.
• Identifying differentially expressed genes associated with pyrethroid resistance based on transcriptome analysis.
• Analyzing the frequency and distribution of kdr mutations in field mosquito populations.
• Investigating the role of specific bacterial genera, like Cedecea, in modulating host survival under insecticide exposure.

Strengths

• Includes data from five field sites across two Chinese provinces, providing geographic context.
• Reports specific resistance ratios (RR50 ranging from 2.84 to 29.18) and kdr mutation frequencies (49.4% to 100.0%).
• Integrates multiple analysis types: bioassays, transcriptomics (2,566 commonly upregulated genes), and microbiome profiling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data is contained in a 664.1 KB DOCX file, which is a small document format that may require extraction or conversion for computational analysis.
