Characterizing resistance of mosquitoes allows for optimization of control strategies. Resistance to three insecticides was determined for susceptible and resistant (Puerto Rico) strains of Aedes aegypti. Groups of 10 females were topically dosed in triplicate. Dose- response curves were generated for each chemical pair and resistance ratios were calculated using the LD50 values. Resistance ratios were high for the pyrethroids and low for propoxur. |
