Abstract

An image-based QSAR approach, called Multivariate Image Analysis Applied to Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (MIA-QSAR) is described as a tool to model the toxicities of a series of organotin compounds against Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi mosquito larvae, vectors of dengue and yellow fever. This methodology may help researchers to discover novel, potent mosquito controllers.

Keywords: QSAR-2D, MIA-QSAR, dengue and yellow fever.
