Abstract

HOUSE spraying with residual insecticides, particularly with DDT and dieldrin, plays an important part in modern anti-malaria campaigns. The tolerance of malaria vectors to these toxicants is therefore of special interest. Assessments of the susceptibility of many different species of anopheline mosquitoes before and during spraying operations have been carried out in many parts of the world1. However, nothing seems to have been published on the normal resistance-level of A. pharoensis, a vector of malaria in several countries of Africa.
