ABSTRACT
Ae. aegypti mosquitoes from rural areas of Maharashtra state were subjected to insecticide bio-assays. All the populations showed resistance to DDT at larval and adult stages. No resistance to deltamithrin and malathion was detected at any stage. Biochemical analysis of these mosquito populations showed that resistance to DDT was probably due to increase in the kinetics of glutathione S-transferase.
