Résumé
Objective To compare the biological characteristics of Culex pipiens pallens between permethrin-resistant strain and the susceptible strain. Methods In laboratory, the biological characteristics about bloodsucking, reproduction and development of permethrin-resistant and susceptible strains were observed and recorded. Life table of the experimental populations was constituted. Results The bloodsucking rate of resistant strain was lower than susceptible strain and the difference was significant. The life-span of adults of resistant strain and the developmental duration of eggs, larvae and pupae were longer than susceptible strain and the difference was significant. The death rate of eggs of resistant strain was higher than that of susceptible strain and the difference was significant. The permethrin-resistant strain showed a fitness value of 0
