A New Esterase Amplification Involved in OP Resistance in Culex Pipiens Mosquitoes from Tunisia

Abstract

SOJ Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Open Access Short Communication Mortality data were analyzed by the log-probit program of Raymond M [8], based on Finney, [9]. Esterase phenotypes were established by starch electrophoresis (TME 7.4 buffer system) as described by Pasteur, et al. [10,11] using homogenates of thorax and abdomen. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) phenotypes were determined according to bioassays using tests with propoxur.
