Evolution of insecticide resistance in <i>Culex pipiens</i> populations: The Corsican paradox

1994-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Culex pipiens mosquitoes from Corsica have been subject to insecticide treatments since 1971, using temephos (an organophosphate). After 17 years, resistance has not developed beyond a 14‐fold level. This relatively low resistance is due to the presence of several identified resistance genes, including the insensitive target ( Ace R ) and overproduced esterases (A1, A4 and B4). The fact that only a low re...
