Title
DDT-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus: The effect of DDT on the mosquito's size, fecundity and survival
Resistant strains of Culex quinquefasciatus were selected in the larval stage by exposure to sublethal doses of DDT. The size, body weight and fecundity of DDT-resistant mosquitoes were significantly decreased. There was no significant difference between the longevity of females in the original strain and the DDT selected strains, however, there was a significant difference between the males of the DDT-resistant strains and those of the original strain.
