Abstract
The exposure of mosquito larvae (Aedes aegypti L.) to LC50 concentrations of DDT for various periods of time resulted in a selective increase in the alanine level of a DDT-resistant strain after 4 to 8 hours' contact with the insecticide, whereas the concentration of this amino acid in a susceptible strain remained comparatively low.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
