For 0.05% propoxur, mortality rates were 100%, 79.21%, and 98.17% in Jining, Guangzhou, and Haikou, respectively. For 0.5% malathion, mortality rates were 88.12%, 98.06%, and 88.12%, respectively. In Guangzhou, mortality rates for 0.08% beta-cyfluthrin and cis-cypermethrin were both below 80%, while in Jining and Haikou, they ranged from 86.17% to 93.88%.

The GGA\/G allele at codon 1016 was found only in Guangzhou (4.17%). At codon 1532, a single mutant allele (ACC\/T) was detected (2.43%), with three genotypes observed: I\/I (96.12%), I\/T (2.91%), and T\/T (0.97%). At codon 1534, five alleles were identified: TTC (F) (35.44%), TCC (S) (24.27%), TGC (C) (38.35%), TTG (L) (1.46%), and CTC (L) (0.49%), forming seven genotypes, including F\/F (18.44%), F\/C (6.80%), F\/S (23.30%), F\/L (3.88%), S\/S (7.77%), C\/C (30.10%), and S\/C (9.71%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The studied\n                      <jats:italic>Ae. albopictus<\/jats:italic>\n                      populations showed high resistance to three commonly used pyrethroid insecticides, while relatively lower resistance was observed for propoxur and malathion.\n                      <jats:italic>kdr<\/jats:italic>\n                      mutation frequencies varied across regions, with generally low mutation rates at codon 1016.
