Testing Anopheles albimanus for genetic linkage of insecticide resistance genes by combining insecticide bioassay and biochemical methods.

Abstract excerpt

A microtitre-plate assay which distinguishes propoxur-resistant from susceptibles Anopheles albimanus Weidemann was used to test for linkage between the genes for propoxur- and dieldrin-resistance. The adult progeny of a backcross between a doubly-resistant colony and a fully susceptible colony were exposed in conventional test kits to the standard discriminating dose of dieldrin, and kept in the insectary...
