Abstract
Many problems that are difficult to solve have been created by the appearance and spread of insecticide-resistant strains of insects. We now know that resistance is inherited, rapidly acquired and slow to be lost, and ways have been indicated in which it may arise; but more must be discovered about the mechanism of action of the toxicants and their metabolism in the insect body before the nature of the trouble can be fully understood.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
