“…According to the CDC bottle bioassay protocol and the WHO recommendations for assessing resistance, mosquito mortality of 80–97% observed using the prescribed dosage and scoring time for a pesticide, suggest possible resistance [ 19 ]. Organophosphates such as malathion need to penetrate the cuticles of insects, and be oxidized to a toxic form, malaoxon [ 28 ] to be effective at the synapse. The time for cuticle penetration and or oxidation of malathion might vary within mosquito populations, this could explain the longer scoring time to 100% mortality observed in the Jamaican population.…”

“…In the first tests, the solvent system of Bigley & Plapp (1962) was employed (acetonitrile/water/ammonium hydroxide, 85: 15: 1). The malathion mono-acid and diacids should be separable by this method; but, in fact, no di-acid was detected.…”

“…The effects of malathion on both insects and animals have been well cataloged, and a number of investigations into its biochemical degradation have been reported-for example, its high insect toxicity has been attributed to the "activation" to its oxygen analog malaoxon which is from 2 to 10 times more toxic than malathion itself (Krueger and O'Brien, 1959). Resistance in the case of insects has been attributed to the activity of carboxyesterase(s) with the resulting formation of diacids (Bigley and Plapp, 1962;Dauterman and Matsumara, 1962;Matsumara and Brown, 1961;Matsumara and Dauterman, 1964;Matsumara andVoss, 1964, 1965). Although the major pathway of degradation in the chicken (March et al, 1956), mouse (Krueger and O'Brien, 1959), and rat (Seume and O'Brien, 1960) is via the carboxyesterase(s), there appear to be some limitations, since only the formation of the monoacids has been reported.…”
