Abstract excerpt
The cause of high resistance to chlorpyrifos observed in Tunisian Culex pipiens (L.) was investigated by comparing a Tunisian strain G (> 10,000-fold resistance), a French strain T (approximately 50-fold resistance), and a susceptible reference strain S. Strains G and T had the same level of propoxur resistance (approximately 1,000-fold) and were homozygous for an autosomal propoux-insensitive...
