Pharmacological Inhibition of Inward Rectifier Potassium Channels Induces Lethality in Larval <i>Aedes aegypti</i>
The inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels play key roles in the physiology of mosquitoes and other insects. Our group, among others, previously demonstrated that small molecule inhibitors of Kir channels are promising lead molecules for developing new insecticides to control adult female mosquit...
