ABSTRACT
Susceptibility tests were conducted on the adults of five species of mosquito vectors of Japanese encephalitis (JE) viz., Culex tritaeniorhynchus, C. vishnui, C. pseudovishnui, C. gelidus and C. fuscocephala from Kolar district, Karnataka during 1990-91 against organo chloride compounds (DDT 4%, dieldrin 4%), organo phosphate compounds (malathion 5%, fenitrothion 1.0%), carbamate (propoxur 0.1%) and pyrethroid (deltamethrin--OMS 0.025%). All the five species were found susceptible to malathion. C. tritaeniorhynchus was resistant to DDT, dieldrin and fenitrothion; C. vishnui was also susceptible to fenitrothion and propoxur; C. pseudovishnui was resistant to dieldrin but it was susceptible to fenitrothion and propoxur. C. gelidus and C. fuscocephala were susceptible to dieldrin, fenitrothion and propoxur. Deltamethrin did not exhibit a good adulticidal effect except for C. pseudovishnui and C. fuscocephala. However, verifications are required to determine the susceptibility status of C. vishnui, C. pseudovishnui, C. gelidus and C. fuscocephala against DDT, C. tritaeniorhynchus against propoxur and C. vishnui against dieldrin.
