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 w...
