  • Title: Susceptibility status of Anopheles maculatus Theobald (Diptera: Culicidae) to DDT in Peninsular Malaysia.
    Author: Loong KP, Chiang GL, Yap HH.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1989 Sep; 20(3):415-20. PubMed ID: 2633349.
    Abstract:
    Susceptibility tests were carried between 1987-1989 on Anopheles maculatus female adults collected from twelve different localities in Peninsular Malaysia to DDT. Mosquitoes collected from all localities except those from Kuala Berang, Trengganu state were found to be susceptible to DDT when tested with 4% impregnated paper. Several factors contributing to the lack of development of resistance despite many years of residual spraying in Peninsular Malaysia include exophily, exophagic and excito-repellency behaviour of An. maculatus and the inadequate spraying coverage of houses.
