Abstract

Resistance to temephos and chlorphoxim has been found in larvae of some cytospecies of the Simulium damnosum complex in West Africa. Topical application of these chemicals to adult females caught near rivers containing resistant larvae reveals a clear reduction in susceptibility. This fact is very useful in monitoring resistance.
