title: Effect of DDT on Free Amino Acids of Susceptible and DDT-Resistant Aedes aegypti Larvae.
abstract: The exposure of mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti L.) to LC(50) concentrations of DDT for various periods of time resulted in a selective increase in the alanine level of a DDT-resistant strain after 4 to 8 hours' contact with the insecticide, whereas the concentration of this amino acid in a susceptible strain remained comparatively low.
