[The association of resistance to organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid insecticides with the mechanisms of resistance observed in Culex quinquefasciatus strains from Ciudad de La Habana province].

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms of resistance in Culex quinquefasciatus from 6 municipalities of Havana City were studied in order to determine their genetic frequency. Increased esterases and altered acetylcholinesterase are still being the major resistance mechanisms in Havana City. The mechanisms of esterases...
