[The sensitivity of a natural population of Anopheles martinius to malathion and DDT in the Kirghiz SSR].
Levels of An. martinius natural population resistance to DDT and malathion were determined in the Kirghiz SSR by a generally accepted WHO method. 100% sensitivity of mosquitoes to malathion and limited DDT-resistance (mean death rate, 59.1%) were revealed. Age-related differences in DDT-resistance level were established. Mosquitoes at the day of imago hatching were less sensitive: the death rate in case of the contact was 42.7%. Blood sucking produced no effect on their resistance.
