Abstract :
Esterase polymorphism and Dursban (O,O-dimethyl-2-pyridylphosphorothioate) sensitivity have been investigated in 12 natural populations and three laboratory strains of Culex pipiens pipiens. This mosquito has two esterase loci, Est-1 and Est-2, which were shown to code esterases of the B group (aliesterases) but not cholinesterases. No correlation between Est-1 polymorphism and Dursban sensitivity was found, but the increase of the Est-2(0.64) allele in the populations less sensitive to Dursban was highly significant (r = -0.9850 for 6 df). |
