“…Woke (705), Simmons (87), and Nolan and Wilcoxon (77) were among the first to use mosquito larvae for the determination of insecticide residues. Although Aedes agypti (L.) (73)(74)(75)(76)(77) have been used most frequently, A. vexans, A. sticticus (Meig.) (74), Anopheles quadramaculatus Say (77), Culex quinquefasciatus Say (78,93,94), and C. fatigens Wied.…”

A review of bioassay techniques for the quantitative determination of pesticide residues has been made. Several organisms are in use. Selection depends on the pesticide used, reproducibility, indication of the true quantity of toxicant present, cost, speed of assay, and other practical limitations. The types of exposure, responses measured, sensitivity, and complexity vary with different methods using the same organism and with different organisms. Though possibly less specific than chemical methods, bioassay offers the opportunity to determine the presence of toxic metabolites which may be bypassed by more specific methods. Bioassay, in its broadest sense, may refer to any method in which some property of a material is measured in terms of a biological response. In the agricultural pesticides field, practically all chemical or biological control programs involving response of an organism to a chemical may be called bioassays. Hoskins (57) has divided bioassay into three groups: screening and formulation, resistance, and residue analysis. Bioassay will be defined here as the quantitative determination of a toxicant using biological material to measure
