  • Title: Insecticide tolerance of Culex nigripalpus in Florida.
    Author: Boike AH, Rathburn CB, Floore TG, Rodriguez HM, Coughlin JS.
    Journal: J Am Mosq Control Assoc; 1989 Dec; 5(4):522-8. PubMed ID: 2614401.
    Abstract:
    Larval susceptibility tests of Culex nigripalpus populations from various areas of Florida have shown resistance to several organophosphorus insecticides since 1984. Although the degree of resistance is low (2 to 7 times), it can be termed tolerance and appears to be the greatest for fenthion, followed by temephos, naled and malathion. It is suggested that pesticide runoff from lawns, golf courses and agricultural and urban areas may play a role in developing resistance in Florida mosquito populations.
