Methods for field detection of resistance to temephos in simuliids. Larval esterase level and topical application of the insecticide to adults
Two practical field methods for indirect detection of simuliid populations resistant to temephos are proposed. The first is based on high esterase activity in resistant larvae and involves adaptations of a filter paper test in which faintly stained spots indicate susceptible populations and strongly...
